Swedish rockers Europe have unveiled dates for a new UK tour supporting forthcoming new album 'Bag Of Bones'.
Europe will release 'Bag Of Bones' in the UK on Monday 30th April 2012. The first single, 'Not Supposed To Sing The Blues', will be released digitally at the end of this week, Friday 9th March.
'Bag of Bones' is produced by Kevin Shirley. No stranger to the crème de la crème of iconic rock, Shirley has produced albums for the likes of Iron Maiden, Joe Bonamassa, Black Country Communion, Black Stone Cherry and Journey.
'Bag of Bones' track-listing is as follows:
1. Riches To Rags
2. Not Supposed To Sing The Blues
3. Firebox
4. Bag Of Bones
5. Requiem
6. My Woman My Friend
7. Demon Head
8. Drink And A Smile
9. Doghouse
10. Mercy You Mercy Me
11. Bring It All Home
Contributing slide guitar to the title track 'Bag of Bones' is blues rock guitarist Joe Bonamassa. "We're honoured that Joe Bonamassa wanted to play some slide guitar on our record. We're all big fans of his music", says Europe front man Joey Tempest. Released on CD and vinyl formats, the album features a more straightforward rock approach.
“Why drive a VW beetle when you can drive a Rolls Royce?” asks Europe’s guitarist John Norum. “'Bag of Bones' is a classic rock album with lots of class. Even my mom likes it!”
Having confirmed some first festival appearances across Europe over the summer, the Scandinavians will return to the UK in November.
