Erik Grönwall Announces Debut Solo Album ‘Bad Bones’

27 February 2026 rocknews

Swedish rock powerhouse Erik Grönwall Announces Debut Solo Album– renowned for his explosive vocals fronting Skid Row, H.E.A.T, and touring with guitar legend Michael Schenker – is stepping into the spotlight with his highly anticipated solo album Bad Bones, set for release on May 22, 2026.

Today, fans get the first electrifying taste with the title track single “Bad Bones”, dropping February 27, 2026. This marks a bold new chapter for Grönwall, shifting from iconic band frontman to a deeply personal solo artist with 100% original material.

Watch the official music video for “Bad Bones” now and pre-save the single to dive in on release day.

After years of commanding stages worldwide and recording with rock royalty (including a UFO anniversary album with Schenker), Grönwall turns inward for Bad Bones – a raw, honest, and uncompromising statement built on themes of self-ownership and unapologetic living.

“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.”

The album promises a sonic journey of powerful rock anthems, emotional depth, and Grönwall’s signature vocal fire – all rooted in his influences while carving a fresh path.
