BAD BONES

"Demolition Derby" is overall a solid record all the way. It rocks hard, it's catchy enough and includes all the necessary late 80's vibe in it. All the songs here can be characterized by the power, attitude and their 'ballsy' sound and that's a thing that I liked the most. And one last thing; the guitars are simply killer!!! Well done!!" Heavy Paradise "These guys from Italy are just awesome all the way through. Bad Bones would have been on MTV and the radio in heavy rotation in the 80’s and could have played side by side with any of the 80’s heavyweights. This album is 100% awesome form start to finish." The Dirty Room “Demolition Derby” può essere la definitiva prova che la band ci sappia davvero fare e potrebbe essere un punto di riferimento costante e duraturo nella scena hard rock metal italiana ed internazionale" Rock Rebel Magazine - Album of the Month! "La band si lancia sul mercato con un disco coinvolgente, incredibilmente ruffiano quando entra in modalità “cazzeggio” ma ugualmente in grado di toccare le corde dell’anima quando l’atmosfera si fa seria ed i temi profondi." Metal Hammer Italy - Top Album! "L’hard rock dei Bad Bones è più vivo che mai e noi, figli della Terra dei Cachi, dovremmo esserne più che orgogliosi, magari smettendo una volta per tutte di guardare solo ed esclusivamente a ciò che arriva da Svezia, Germania e USA: bands come questa se ne trovano poche in giro… GRANDI!!"
