"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

To The Bones are essential. From glamorous Bolton, the four-piece play a feral mix of riffs and melody; imagine the Pixies tackling QOTSA and you're playing in the right ball-park.. The band write amazing, hook-laden rock songs that you'll find rumbling around your head days after your last To The Bones fix.

Having released a split single through Org Records at the start of 2008, To The Bones signed up with new label Medici Records in May. In July, the band released a double A-side made up of the scuzzed-up fuzzed-out melody of 'Sonic Mammoth' and the terrifying aural assault of 'Sharkie's Bone Symphony'. They received airplay from Zane Lowe and Bruce Dickinson at the BBC and were invited to record an Xfm session for John Kennedy. The NME, Rock Sound and The Fly gave them mentions - from out of nowhere had appeared a fearsome new force in rock. Even MTV2 noticed what was going on, playing the band's video on 120 Minutes and Headbanger's Ball.

Having heard about the building buzz, producer Dave Eringa (Manics, Idlewild, Ash) offered his services to the band for free. In 24 hours, the band recorded and mixed their second Medici Records single. Entitled Rex, and released on September 29th, it's a hypnotic, mesmerising blend of crushing riffs and tribal, chanted melody. It's a song that demands an immediate re-listen - and then another, and another and another...

The release of low-budget debut album ‘Duke Type A' saw the band garner praise from all corners. The NME praised its ‘histrionic slabs of exhilarating, white-hot squall', whilst The Fly told us it was, ‘A thrilling, unpredictable debut - rough round the edges, and all the better for it". Hell, even Steve Lamacq named it his Alternative Album of the Week on Radio 1.

January 2009 sees the band head into the studio once more. This March, a re-recorded version of album highlight ‘Lips On Red' will hit the digital world. Currently being recorded with producer Sean Genockey (Manics, Baddies, Reuben), it'll be the last take from this stage of the band's journey. See you on the road...
