The band’s style clearly evokes the times when Rock and Metal dominated the music scene, with a hard, spontaneous and full of energy style. In October 2007 the band recorded their first album “Smalltown Brawlers”, published in 2008 and recorded again in 2009 by Red Pony/Audioglobe with some new tracks, like “We want live with Rock’n'roll”, to which participated the legendary Italian rock singer Pino Scotto. “Small town Brawlers” gained enthusiastic reports from the most famous italian rock and metal magazines. According to Metal Maniac magazine, the Bad Bones are the “next big thing of italian hard rock”. Between 2008 and 2009 the band played in Italy, Europe, Los Angeles and California where they got great results and had the chance to play in historic spots in Sunset Strip such as the “Whisky A Go Go” and the “Key Club”. They supported important American bands like Youth Brigade or Murphy’s Law, they worked together with Rob Michaels (former Goo Goo dolls guitar player) and took part in festival such as “Hollywood rock Convention 2008″ and Port Hueneme “Summer Fest” at the Oceanview Pavillon where played the most well known hard rock bands from Los Angeles, among which there were Pretty Boy Floyd and Enuff’z'Nuff.

Just to give news: the song “Poser”, their anthem, had been used by the Cysco Systems multinational informatics company, for an advertising which appeared on the web in 2009. The band had great work to do in Italy and in Europe and they went on tour with Adam Bomb, glorious guitar player, through Switzerland, Germany and finally Czech Republic. During that summer, the band participated to a series of important rock festivals as supporters to amazing international bands such as Hardcore Superstar, Entombed and Crucified Barbara.
