Erik Grönwall has announced his new solo album Bad Bones, due out on 22 May 2026, and has shared the title track Bad Bones as the first single. The Bad Bones album is built entirely on original material, marking a return to songwriting at its core, honest, powerful, and deeply personal.
After years of fronting major acts including Skid Row and 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, Grönwall turns the focus fully inward on a record described as raw, fearless and uncompromising.
“I’ve had the honour of fronting some great bands,” Erik Grönwall says, “but now it’s time to tell my own story. Bad Bones is about owning who you are and not apologising 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 Grönwall has also built a hugely successful YouTube channel with millions of views and a global audience. With Bad Bones, that same direct connection now fuels his own original voice.
Two hometown shows in Stockholm at the end of May are already sold out, with more festival appearances set to be announced.
