Former Skid Row frontman Erik Grönwall has officially released his long-awaited solo album, Bad Bones, on May 22.

The album, built entirely on original material, marks a deeply personal and honest artistic statement, representing the beginning of a bold new chapter in his career.

Grönwall, known globally for his powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence with Skid Row, H.E.A.T., and Michael Schenker, has now turned his focus fully inward.

Bad Bones captures the spirit of classic hard rock while delivering a sound that is immediate, modern, and emotionally charged.

The album features tracks including 'Born To Break,' 'Praying For A Miracle,' 'Written In The Scars,' 'Who’s The Winner,' 'Lost For Life,' 'Twisted Lullaby,' 'Save Me,' 'Hell & Back,' 'How High,' and 'Bad Bones.' The first singles from the album have already gained strong international support from major rock radio stations including Bandit Rock (Sweden), Planet Rock (UK), and Star FM (Germany).

Two sold-out hometown performances at Cirkus in Stockholm, Sweden, were among the first live shows, with Erik stating, 'These were my first ever solo headline shows and seeing both nights sell out at Cirkus is something I’ll carry with me forever.

Celebrating Bad Bones with a sold out crowd, hearing every voice sing along and sharing the stage with this incredible band is something I’ll never forget.

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made these shows so special.

More live performances from Cirkus are on the way!' Grönwall emphasized the album’s authenticity, saying, 'I’ve fronted incredible bands and lived through experiences that changed me forever, but Bad Bones feels like the true beginning of my own story.

This album is 100 percent me – the good, the bad, all of it.

After everything I’ve been through, I don’t really know how to make music any other way than honestly anymore.' In addition to the album release, Grönwall has confirmed a series of live performances across Scandinavia and Europe, with more shows planned at Cirkus and other venues.

The full album is set for release in 2026.

Meanwhile, Erik Grönwall’s side project Voices of Extreme has released the single 'Stoned Babies' on BraveWords Records, which has been praised by Iridium Rock and Metal Reviews as 'fucking brilliant' and 'beautiful.'"
