ANDERS “L.A.” RONNBLOM (SOCIAL DISORDER): “I Was Totally Blown Away When TRACII [GUNS] Sent The First Track”

Anders “LA” Rönnblom is best known as the founder, bass player, and songwriter for the Swedish-Canadian act Killer Bee. In addition, Anders is also a member of X-Romance (formerly known as Romance) and Wolfpakk. In 2018 Rönnblom began writing for a solo project that over time turned into a band project. Featuring special guests and an up-and-coming Swedish singer, that solo project became Social Disorder. Their debut album is Love 2 Be Hated [review].

Lyrically, Love 2 Be Hated draws material from Anders’ personal life and the tragedies and victories that have come along with it. Backing up Rönnblom is Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns), Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy), Jeff Duncan (Armored Saint), Dave Stone (Rainbow), Snowy Shaw (King Diamond), Shawn Duncan (DC4) and Leif Ehlin (Perfect Plan). I had the chance to speak with Anders “LA” Rönnblom ahead of his new album’s release.
