The Band
Bad Bones Italy is prepared to
embrace and deliver upon the world a new champion to the realm of Hard Rock and
Heavy metal, Bad Bones. With their fifth explosive release, High Rollers, these
four Heavy Metal gladiators will battle across the planet in the name of great
music, and the essence of the power of Rock. Following the success of demolition
derby which saw Bad Bones tour Europe, the boyhood dreams of headlining one of
the most iconic venues in Heavy Metal was realized when Bad Bones tore the roof
off Whisky a GoGo in Los Angeles, California in 2013. From their
inception in 2007, Bad Bones have grown from a three-piece unit paying homage
to the greats before them, to devolving their own unique, modern sound. With
the addition of singer Max "Bone" Malmerenda, in 2011, Bad Bones continue
to tour in support of their growing repertoire of fast-paced, complex,
progressive Hard Rock/Heavy Metal. Teamed up with Guitarist Sergio Aschieris,
Bassist Steve Balocco, and Drummer, Lele Balocco, Bad Bones prides themselves
on each member bringing their individual, particular ideas, concepts and
personality to every song. A collaborative effort where the rhythm section
stays tight, in the pocket allowing the guitars and vocals to scream and
harness the real power of metal.
