After years of fronting some of rock’s most iconic acts, Erik Grönwall returns with a solo album titled “Bad Bones” out on May 22nd. Today we get a first taste of the album in the shape on the title track ”Bad Bones”.
Known worldwide for his powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence, Erik has made his mark as the frontman of Skid Row, H.E.A.T, and, more recently, touring across Europe and Japan (and recording a UFO anniversary album) providing lead vocals for guitar legend Michael Schenker.

With “Bad Bones”, he now turns the focus fully inward, delivering a raw and honest statement that marks a bold new chapter in his career. The “Bad Bones” single sets the tone for an album that is fearless, personal, and uncompromising. The upcoming album “Bad Bones “is built entirely on original material and represents a return to songwriting at its core – honest, powerful, and deeply personal.
“I’ve had the honor of fronting some great bands, but now it’s time to tell my own story,” Erik says. “‘Bad Bones’ is about owning who you are and not apologizing for it. I’ve always walked my own path, no matter what people thought. I’ve never followed the norm, and I’m not about to start now – this is how I’m built.”
Alongside his work on stage and in the studio, Erik has built an enormously successful YouTube channel, amassing millions of views and a global audience drawn to his powerful interpretations and authenticity. With “Bad Bones”, that same raw connection now fuels his own original voice.
Two hometown shows in Stockholm at the end of May are already sold out and more festival appearances are to be announced shortly.
The single “Bad Bones” will be available on all major digital platforms on the 27th February 2026. with more new music and live announcements to follow in 2026.
