product: Alicate \u2013 Too Bad To Be Good<\/strong>
release date: 24.04.2026<\/strong>
format: CD & digital<\/strong>
territory: world<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alicate was formed in the late 80\u2018s by lead vocalist\/guitarist Jonas Erixon and bass player Fredrik Ekberg. They put together a band that toured in Sweden and Finland and also supported Ian Gillan on his „Toolbox Tour“ in 1992.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a hiatus in the 90\u2018s Alicate reformed and fast forward to 2009, when their first full length album called \u201cWorld Of Anger\u201d was released. The same year they did a successful appearance at Sweden Rock festival and with the new found popularity the album \u201cFree Falling\u201d was released in 2013. Their third full release, \u201cUnforgiven To Be Forgiven\u201d, followed in 2018 together with a live EP called \u201cLive At Forum\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During Covid pandemic, Jonas Erixon composed songs and collaborated with some high profile artists with songs for Giant, Skills (with Billy Sheehan and Brad Gillis) and Sweet Oblivion (Geoff Tate).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the Pandemic, Erixon wrote new material for Alicate. The album „Butterfly“ was released 2022 via Pride & Joy Music. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Swedish quartet quickly started recording their next release in the same vein. The result was the long player „Heaven Tonight“ (2024, Pride & Joy Music).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of 2025, a line-up change happened when the new keyboardist in the band, Marcus Zerath, came  on board –  injecting new energy to the band!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new release \u201eToo Bad to Be Good\u201c continues in the Melodic Rock vein with some very strong hooks. The band\u2018s joint collaboration on the 10 new songs gives a solid foundation for Jonas strong voice. Also, Pete Alpenborg, was invited to co-write some songs like the single \u201cSave Our Love\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alicate chose Svein Jensen at Grand Recordings to mix the album with a fresh perspective on the music. The mastering was handled by Philip Granqvist. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line-up:<\/strong>
Jonas Erixon (vox\/git)
Marcus Zerath (Keyboards)
Fredrik Ekberg (Bass)
Jesper Persson (Drums)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
