Bonafide recently issued the following update:

"May 7th is the official release date for the new single - 'Hard Livin' Man'. The track was written by Mikael Fässberg & Pontus Snibb, and is of course also included on the latest album, Somethings Dripping (Black Lodge Records/Soundpollution).

The video was recorded in Spain, France, Germany and Sweden during Bonafide's six week, 35 show tour of Europe November - December 2009 that rolled through nine countries all across the continent.

The single (specially edited for single format) will be available through all major download sources, and the video will be sent to all relevant networks including European broadcasters and YouTube."

Another message from the band, issued earlier this month reads: "Due to musical and personal differences, Bonafide and (drummer) Sticky Bomb have mutually decided to part ways.

Sticky has been pivotal in creating the Bonafide sound and we: Pontus, Mikael and Micke, want to thank him for fun memories and all the great shows we've played together all over Europe.

We would also like to welcome the mighty Niklas Mattsson to the family! Niklas, who also torments skin in Stockholm heavyweights BACKDRAFT and American groovers RAGING SLAB, will add even more power and dynamics to the Bonafide machine. Niklas, who joined us for our Spanish tour recently, will of course appear when we start up the Bonafide monster yet again in early June for some shows in Austria with NAZARETH and THE QUIREBOYS.

To coincide with the next leg of the tour in support of our latest album, Something's Dripping, we will also have a new single, 'Hard Livin' Man', and video out, available for radio stations, through all major download channels, and through YouTube in May.

While waiting, please check out the following collage of pictures accompanied by 'Butter You Up' from the new album."
