Loud Feathers

Pontus Snibb has through the years proved that he's one of Sweden's best singers and guitar players with a long-lasting, productive career as a recording and live artist with bands such as SNiBB and Bonafide, who are currently getting a lot of attention in Europe. Pontus Snibb 3 is, on one hand, a brand new band, on the other a continuation of Pontus' previous solo career, and this album is thereby a follow-up of sorts to Admiral Street Recordings 1 and 2, the latter having also been released by Rootsy back in 2009. Besides Pontus on guitar and vocals, the band features Backdraft's rhythm section, bass player Mats Rydstrm and drummer Niklas Matsson (also in Bonafide), who have also recorded and toured with US boogie legends Raging Slab. The album was recorded in less than a week, mostly live, in the respected Gig Studio in Stockholm, Sweden together with Conny Wall (who've worked with Ane Brun, Electric Boys, Peter Bjorn & John, Imperial State Electric to name a few. Loud Feathers consists of eleven tracks, with influences from all forms of classic rock, ranging from the Who to Free to Crazy Horse to Van Halen. The album also features three prominent guests: guitarist Conny Bloom from Electric Boys, Mats Ronander on harmonica (who played with ABBA!) and screams courtesy of Ralf Gyllenhammar from Mustasch.
