Album & artist
ALBUM

BONES UK (2019)

Their self-titled debut is a riff-heavy, rough-edged record that mixes rock guitars with electronic textures and a lot of attitude. The songs tackle themes of sexism, sexuality, and individuality, and the album works as an unapologetic introduction to what the band is about.

BONES UK

BONES UK is a rock duo from Camden Town, London, made up of vocalist and rhythm guitarist Rosie Bones and lead guitarist Carmen Vandenberg. The two met at the Blues Kitchen in Camden, played together in the all-girl band Fake Club, and formed BONES UK in 2014 before eventually relocating to Los Angeles. Their music sits in the space between hard rock and industrial, with lyrics that take direct aim at sexism and push back on ideas about gender and identity.
