BONAFIDE: 'The Mess' Video Released

March 15, 2013

"The Mess", the new video from Swedish hard rockers BONAFIDE, can be seen below. The song comes off the band's latest album, "Ultimate Rebel", which was released in August 2012 through Rootsy in Scandinavia and Off Yer Rocka in the rest of the world.

"The Mess" is described in a press release as "a dark, mesmerizing rocker with a catchy lead riff , coupled with great guitar work, and an infectious chorus to die for." The track was released as a single on March 14 and is backed up with a live cut from the forthcoming live DVD release, which will be out shortly. "The Live Mess" was recorded at last year's Hard Rock Hell festival in Wales, where BONAFIDE was accompanied on stage by some very raunchy dancers in front of a packed audience, adding some sexual solidarity to the riffage.

"Ultimate Rebel" is an album packed with loud, energetic-yet-melodic hard rock, firmly rooted in heavy electric blues and steaming-hot old-school R&B. The CD was recorded during two hectic weeks in engineer Conny Wall's Gig Studios in Stockholm in February 2012 and was produced by band frontman and main songwriter Pontus Snibb.

BONAFIDE has been building an ever-growing audience all over Europe by constant touring. Add to this, the countless festival appearances and week-long tours of Spain and the U.K. and it can be easily seen that these boys are rock and roll road rats on the up. Quite simply, BONAFIDE is a band that knows that success and longevity can only be achieved by hard work, which inevitably means non-stop touring and keeping it live.
