Bones UK

BONES UK, the electrifying rock duo stylized as such, originated from the gritty heart of Camden Town, London. This formidable force comprises the dynamic frontwoman and rhythm guitarist Rosie Bones, and the virtuoso lead guitarist Carmen Vandenberg, whose unmistakable synergy defines their powerful, industrial-tinged rock sound.

Their journey began with a fateful meeting at Camden`s iconic Blues Kitchen. Before forming BONES UK in 2014, Bones and Vandenberg honed their craft and cut their teeth in the all-girl band Fake Club from 2012 to 2014. Their raw talent quickly caught the ear of legendary guitar icon Jeff Beck early in their career. In a testament to their exceptional songwriting prowess, Beck personally invited the band to co-write his critically acclaimed 2016 album, Loud Hailer, and subsequently to join him on tour, exposing them to a global stage. Following this formative period and burgeoning success, BONES UK made a transatlantic move, establishing their West Coast base in Los Angeles, California.

After building significant buzz with a string of independent singles, BONES UK unleashed their highly anticipated, self-titled debut album in July 2019 via Sumerian Records. Masterfully produced by Filippo Cimatti, this powerhouse LP immediately staked its claim with unflinching lyrical prowess and a fierce sonic landscape. The album provocatively confronts everything from the "beauty industrial complex" and toxic masculinity to systemic sexism within the music industry, pushing boundaries with every riff and challenging societal norms. A standout track is their compelling cover of David Bowie’s "I`m Afraid of Americans," a testament to their reverence for the Thin White Duke, recorded at the personal request of Howard Stern for a Bowie tribute album. The critical acclaim was swift, with esteemed rock publication Loudwire naming BONES UK one of the 50 best rock albums of 2019.

The bands breakout hit, "Pretty Waste," further solidified their status, earning a prestigious Grammy Award nomination for Best Rock Performance in November 2019. Demonstrating their versatile artistry, January 2020 saw the release of *Unplugged*, an intimate acoustic EP, accompanied by a captivating short film documenting their raw live performance online. Expanding their reach across media, 2021 brought the release of "Dirty Little Animals," an original single featured in the critically acclaimed animated TV series *Arcane*, further showcasing **BONES UK**s undeniable impact on the contemporary rock scene.
