Bare Bones...major game changers on the Punk/Rock scene.

Bare Bones Facebook Official
 
So I found this little group a few months ago and wrote up a little piece for Stagedive mag about them. Do have a read, I hope you decide to check out some of their tunes as they have worked hard for the wicked sound produced. Be sure to get amongst this tour that kicks off in September!
 
Not your typical punk rockers, smashing and gritty Bare Bones are so much more than awesome rock riffs held together with banging drums. Receiving great reviews and wrecking PA's everywhere, popping their profile up on Australia's own Triple J Unearthed website proved to be a major game changer for BB winning the opener spot on the Sydney leg of the Soundwave 2015 tour. These five young blokes from Sydney town have been playing sold out gigs in some of Australia's more musically historical haunts including Oxford Art Gallery, Newtown Social Club and The Manning Bar since 2013. In their own words BB write 'no frills, genuine music under the adage that music should first and foremost be written for personal enjoyment.' which is testament to the dedication shown to their art.

Their virgin EP 'Villains' gained radical prestige with KillYourStereo.com stating the EP was “one of the most top quality releases from a local hardcore band we've heard, period..” Gigging intensely they earned themselves a very loyal following around the traps for all ages, scoring some dream International support slots with names like Senses Fail, For Today, Harms Way, Heights, Every Time I Die, Northlane and Slates. Not to be the type to rest on their laurels they followed up 'Villains' with the 2014 release of 'Cut Throat Living'. These 6 tracks were noted by keepitfast.com as “...drunk ‘n roll that will batter you around the head and body with its frantic and caustic speed”. True to form and all the street press hype, they have skyrocketed in popularity with their Soundwave success and there is no doubt in my mind that Bare Bones are heading towards a massively successful touring career. 
 
Tom, James, Chris, James and Chris have created a furiously large cacophony of sound that is reminiscent of Every Time I Die, August Burns Red and Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster, and both EP's 'Villains' and 'Cut Throat Living' are out now through iTunes / Spotify and BigCartel...get sweaty with this new wild and frenzied masterpiece.

The Art of Jungle Love

Leave the banality of domestic life to immerse yourself in a haze of bubbles, music, art & loving souls. As ‘Wanda’ carried our excited crew through the undulating hills, it was evident the recent rains had reinvigorated the land; it felt as if that vibe had saturated the mood of every inhabitant of the line of vehicles winding their way toward the festival entry. Approaching the camping zones was a sloshy affair. Heavy last-minute downpours had in turn led to last minute changes in zone arrangements which the staff communicated and organised with utter professionalism. Instructions were given clearly, everyone helped those in need to get tents up and cars free from thick mud. The show of human spirit and care was truely heartwarming. Luckily, our set up was done and dusted in no time; we were so keen to get entwined in everything Jungle Love had to offer. Eyes open with wonder, soaking up the abundant good vibes, I headed down from camp to kick off my virgin J...

Journey through Desire Path.

Talking with Yeo, I felt like I was chatting to a friend, he is humble and honest. We spoke about the themes intertwined in 'Desire Path' and how each collaboration came about. Your last album was really playful both in the music and the lyrics.  Listening to your new album ‘Desire Path’, I felt like a it’s journey through different relationships.  Yeah, I think even if the lyrics get really literal, music to me is based on emotion and emotions are kind of nothing without a relationship to give it context I feel. Well when you think about, it relationships rule our lives, whether it be a friendship, family or a work colleague they are always an influence; but I feel quite a few of these tracks are about love relationships? There’s a few on this album, and I haven’t done this for a while. The last album had a couple, but I feel like I got more honest on this one.  I agree, you have a great way with words and that draws me in to your music. I take an expression of hum...

PLANET - The Struggle for Support is real for Emerging Artists

Words of wisdom for every emerging artist from PLANET's Matty Took. I wanted to start a conversation about the reality of following your dreams in the music industry in Australia. We want young artists to understand these challenges a little better & know they are not alone in the struggle.  Your bio states that you had several years of trial and error in your songcrafting. What was the defining moment you found your rhythm and were happy about what you were producing? I feel like every band or musician starting off doesn't really know what “their sound is” or know what their vibe as a musician is when starting off. Especially when they throw themselves in the deep end at a younger age, without any ‘behind the scenes’ work and no label behind them. This was us, as we just started playing straight away. We’ve all played in a few different bands in our time so hundreds of songs have come in and out. Our defining moment was probably about 3 years ago when we start...
