2012, 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. Another chapter to the story begins with the release of the debut album Loud Feathers from the newly formed power trio Pontus Snibb 3. 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). Many bands talk about capturing that raw, spontaneous energy and on Pontus Snibb 3's album you can hear it! Besides Pontus on guitar and vocals, the band features Backdraft's rhythm section, bass player Mats Rydström and drummer Niklas Matsson (also in Bonafide), who have also recorded and toured with US boogie legends Raging Slab. 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. For approximately fifty minutes, Pontus Snibb 3 gives us a lesson in classic blues rock that can only be equaled by a young ZZ Top, minus the hair and beards... They give it their all, from first to last song, rocking and owning the stage with a masterful rhythm!
