A new song snippet from the album can be heard below. Says the band: "Recording 'Drink And A Smile' at the very last minute!!! We wanted one more track on the record. It turned out great, a tight, but lose stomper with a '70s swagger. Check it out on the record!"
Bag Of Bones was produced by Kevin Shirley (IRON MAIDEN, BLACK STONE CHERRY, JOURNEY). Released on CD and vinyl formats, the album features a more straightforward rock approach.
Bag Of Bones tracklisting:
'Riches To Rags'

“Why drive a VW beetle when you can drive a Rolls Royce?” asks Europe’s guitarist John Norum. “Bag of Bones is a classic rock album with lots of class. Even my mom likes it!”Frontman Joey Tempest commented: "Kevin Shirley did such a great job capturing the spirit of this band. He just let us do our thing and then pushed us and our songs to the max. Finally we express ourselves completely without restraint. Straight from heart and soul. It took some time but we have arrived!"
The single, ‘Not Supposed To Sing The Blues’, was released digitally on March 9th. Check out the siong below:
