Bio
"To The Bones move with the force and efficiency of a machine. They make one hell of a racket, but it's nearly always melodic, the songs brutally concise" - The Guardian....<p> ..In a world where riffs are king and master, To The Bones are essential. Hailing from glamorous Bolton, the four-piece clash together a feral mix of hooks, melody and feedback, like The Pixies covering Motorhead, or Kyuss attempting a ‘pop’ record. A straight ahead nasty mix of dark and angry scuzz rock, the band return to the fray on november 22nd with the new 'Astral Magic' EP produced by Sean Genockey (Reuben, The Futureheads, Baddies).<p> The first review is in.....Read Rocksound Magazine's review of the 'Astral Magic' Ep released Monday November 22nd..<p> Duke Type A Steve Lamacq's Alternative Album Of The Week - Radio 1's In New Music We Trust ( 6.10.2008 ).. .. .. .."Bolton's To The Bones are a heavy metal Pixies homage who conjure up histrionic slabs of exhilarating, white-hot squall.... If the imagery is fantastical, the riffs are plain fantastic." 7/10 - NME.. .. .. .."Bolton quartet To The Bones' debut rocks with a timeless cool, ramming classic post-punk, grunge and rock influences into 10 fantastic tracks. With smatterings of Motorhead, Bleach-era Nirvana, The Fall and Joy Division in the mix, 'Duke Type A' is a real treat." 8/10 - Rock Sound.. .. .. .."The Bolton four piece make the sort of righteous, riff-heavy noise that makes you wonder where QOTSA would have ended up if Josh Homme hadn't swapped Nick Olivieri for the Hollywood Hills.... ..Behind Duke Type A's juddering, jagged exterior lay some of the best throttle rock anthems we've heard all year... A thrilling, unpredictable debut - rough round the edges, and all the better for it" - 4/5 - The Fly... .. .. .. .."With debut album ‘Duke Type A’, the group have landed a knockout punch... ‘Duke Type A’ delivers mischief and barbarity in equal measure...With just 10 songs in little over half an hour, the band have produced the most urgently arresting rock debut in years." 4/5 - City Life, Manchester.. .. .. .."If you love early Nirvana, Oliveri-era QOTSA and dark punk 'n' roll riffs, you're about to get a hefty blood spattering from your new favourite band. To The Bones might just make yours shake." - NME ( Issue 7th October 2009 ).. ..Stealing the show, the Bolton quartet's breed of grime rock makes an instant impact on the audience,improving in both velocity and ferocity as the set progresses......Rocksound will eat their own hat if this lot don't start going places very quickly after this. *9/10* Rocksound... ..To The Bones are natural, their sound and style is something that’s naturally innocently evolving in to something rather special –we were expecting them to be good, we weren’t expecting anything near this serious step up to the plate...Think Motorhead voiced alternative Mudhoney/Melvins/early Nirvana bite, a Liars edge.Organ Zine.. ..Rhys.G.Bradley carries a guitar for much of the set, grinding out their brand of furious, blisteringly tight, deathly rock. To The Bones are as easy to handle as a fistful of razorblades...All four of them engage heavily in the rock and roll mantra....To The Bones are a band best served up hot and face to face, at equally ear damaging volumes; but as 2008 closes I can clearly see that this may be one of the few last opportunities to see them this close. ManchesterMusic.co.uk.. .. .. .. .. .... Copy and add our banner to your page .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .."Their last single's video featured the band in various states of torture dripping with fake blood. It's an 18 rated masterclass in softcore gore that befits their psycho-Stooges roar... Don't mess with To The Bones or they might just break yours." - NME.. .."To The Bones move with the force and efficiency of a machine. They make one hell of a racket, but it's nearly always melodic, the songs brutally concise" - The Guardian.. ..“Marvelous urgency and intelligence – all layered fuzzy guitars, a pounding rhythm section, impassioned vocals and the unlikeliest hooks… To The Bones are sure to become a significant name in UK independent rock… Keep your eyes and ears open.” - Rock Sound.. .."Sounds a bit like 'Bleach' Era Nirvana... Good times!" - NME ('Rex' appears on the NME Stereo - 30th April 2008).. .."Manchester quartet 'To The Bones' make guttural, feral fury-rock and their debut single is a ferocious blast of QOTSA-esque roariness" - The Fly.. .."To The Bones make scuzzed up, fuzzed out, full blooded future rock filled with enough experimentation to make it intriguing and enough hooks to make it compelling. It’s surging, frenetic stuff that needs a mosh pit and a sweaty grin to be truly appreciated – thankfully, they are on the right track to producing large versions of both." - Chris Long, BBC Introducing... .."The skuzzy rock n roll of To the Bones has the prime-time bass-driven intensity of early Joy Division and the death-defying screaming thrills of pre-big time Nirvana. They are quite wonderful." - John Robb, Manchester Confidential.. ..".. The kind of bite that is lacking from so many bands music these days... 11/13" - Room Thirteen Magazine.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..To The Bones..
