The Bone Machine began life in earnest during the late 90s with jam sessions between one-time bass player Allan Cope, guitarist Dave O'Neill and vocalist Alan Osborne. Early influences at that time were bands such as Silverchair and Soundgarden. These first few sessions showed instant promise, with Osborne's gutsy melodic vocal style fusing perfectly with O'Neill's sophisticated power riffing. This union was to form the creative spark that formed the heart of The Bone Machine's song writing.
Soon the trio linked up with drummer Martin McConnell and guitarist Steve McCredie. McConnell's powerful drumming proved to be the missing ingredient. The Bone Machine were now shaping up into an exciting creative force.
In the years that followed, The Bone Machine played all available venues on the Glasgow circuit (and beyond) exhaustively. In this time they recorded several Mini-EP CDs in local studios. The CDs were always very well received
by press and fans alike, but ever the perfectionists the band continued to strive for a sound that they were fully happy with. Allan Cope was replaced with new bassist Gary Craig who added a more aggressive cutting edge to the sound.
Unhappy with pay-to-play booking policies employed by many venues at the time, the band took a stand and chose only to play select gigs. This reduction in live exposure, coupled with the departure of Steve McCredie saw the band enter into a period of hiatus. Refreshed and rejuvenated, they choose to continue playing and writing together, playing purely for the love of their craft and a deep rooted self-belief that their day would come. From behind closed doors they keep writing songs and working hard to sharpen their skills. Soon they began experimenting with self-recording. Now, 2 years down the line The Bone Machine have emerged again like a phoenix from the ashes of despair with their brilliant new self-recorded and produced album 'ONE.6ONE8'. They had always shown great potential in the past, and now with this album they are delivering, in spades! For those that have always believed in the band this has been particularly satisfying, and further testament to the wisdom in the band taking control of their own destiny is that since the release of 'ONE.6ONE8' requests have been flooding in for guitarist Dave O'Neill to produce other bands.
Just as the album was being finalized The Bone Machine recruited talented guitarist Dave Campbell and new bassist Stewart Sutherland. Their playing has opened up the live sound to give a fuller livelier mix. Although Campbell and Sutherland arrived too late to play on 'ONE.6ONE8', their contribution to the band is already tangible. After almost a decade after they were founded The Bone Machine are back with a new hunger and passion; sounding bigger and better then ever The Bone Machine are set to bring their brand of power-rock to a venue near you.
