Bonrud’s Olsen in Premier Guitar Magazine’s December 2012 Issue

Bonrud mentioned in December 2012 issue of Premier Guitar magazine's interview with Keith Olsen.

The December 2012 issue of Premier Guitar magazine has an in depth interview with music producing legend Keith Olsen. Bonrud is mentioned along with Ozzy, Fleetwood Mac, Sammy Hagar, and others.

With over 200 album-engineering and/or production credits to his name—and 39 of them have been certified gold, 24 went platinum, and 14 went multiplatinum—it’s no stretch to say Keith Olsen has helped define the sound of modern music. On top of that, he’s won six Grammy awards, sold more than 110 million records, become a trustee of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (the Grammy people), designed music gear, written books, and worked as a recording and touring musician.

Save Tomorrow gets 9 out of 10 Stars from Kronos Mortus Metal E-Zine!!!!

The new Bonrud CD “Save Tomorrow” received 9 out of 10 stars from Kronos Mortus Metal E-Zine!!!

Brief Summary: This is for fans of classic AOR / Hard Rock. A really strong album – the second one under the Bonrud moniker – with highly enjoyable, diverse songs (from guitar fueled uptempo rockers to power ballads), brilliant musical performances and perfectly balanced mix. Definitely a band to watch out for over the next couple of years.

Paul Bonrud & Rick Forsgren Shooting New Video 9-2012

First of all, I would like to congratulate you on the “Save Tomorrow” album. The previous one was pretty good too, but “Save Tomorrow” has definitely been one of the greatest surprises of last year in melodic rock for me. Why did so much time pass between the two records? What kept you so busy? In which bands and projects were you so actively involved?

Metal Music Archive Gives “Save Tomorrow” 4 Stars Out Of 5!

Stephen Kasenda at Metal Music Archives reviewed the new Bonrud CD “Save Tomorrow” and gave it 4 stars out of 5!

It’s been too long since BONRUD’s last self-titled album which was released in 2004, so when ‘Save Tomorrow’ sees the light of the day after 8 years of waiting, this album was met with some euphoric cheering from the AOR community. Backed with a gigantic production, this album was filled with lots of diversities, ranging from the fast-paced furious rhythm to the slow and delicate ballad.
