Blackpool’s STRANGE BONES will release their loudest effort to date, BLITZ PART 2, on 28 February 2020. A sonic hybrid of venomous punk and crushing electronica, spat through gritted teeth, this collection of tracks takes the STRANGE BONES blueprint to new heights and is nothing short of innovative madness.
Recorded and mixed at STRANGE BONES own studio dubbed ‘THE SNAKEPIT’, PART 2 follows Blitz Part 1, which was released earlier this year with support from BBC Radio 1, Radio X, Clash, Rock Sound and Amazing Radio. “Blitz is a commentary of 21st century life,” says Bobby, “The hyper-normalisation of modern society, our reliance on self medication and self-built technological utopias in a world of accelerated modernity. Life and death in Blackpool UK”

“I grew up on everything from Black Flag to The Meteors – my parents saw to that. It was when I was leaving high school I began playing about with electronic music, mainly jungle and dubstep. I moved to Leeds a few years after that and started producing and DJing electronic music, and eventually started toying with the idea of mixing the punk with the electronic. It’s taken years to get here, but here we go!
I hate the phrase ‘guitar music. It’s not dead, it’s not breathing, it’s just music. Everything that once was, will be again, in one shape or form. Ever since I started writing music, I’ve always loved the idea of exploring every single back alley I could. A korg prodigy or a matchbox guitar… If I can get a mad sound out of it, I’m going to use it. Jungle to blues, acid to punk, it’s just music” – Bobby Bentham, vocals
Armed with an EP that hits like Tyson and an unquenchable thirst for live shows, Strange Bones are ready to shake things up, with a sound that is undeniably exciting.
