THE BONES (Sweden)

​

One of Europe’s fiercest Punk Rock’n’Roll machines

THE BONES are a force to be reckoned with. Hailing from Karlskrona, Sweden, the band has been a cornerstone of the European Punk Rock’n’Roll scene for more than two decades.

 

With their explosive mix of razor-sharp riffs, sing-along choruses and relentless energy, THE BONES have built a loyal international fanbase and a reputation for unforgettable live shows.

​

Frontman Beef Bonanza and his bandmates live and breathe the true spirit of punk-infused Rock’n’Roll. Their sound is raw but melodic, dirty yet precise and always delivered with a level of intensity that leaves no one standing still. This is no retro act – THE BONES have forged a sound of their own, combining classic punk attitude with hard-hitting Rock’n’Roll in a way that feels both timeless and immediate.

​

Throughout their career, THE BONES have toured extensively across Europe and beyond, sharing stages with iconic acts such as Die Toten Hosen, Social Distortion and Broilers. Their live reputation precedes them: no gimmicks, no backing tracks, just pure, unfiltered energy from the first chord to the last crash.

​

Their discography reflects the band’s evolution and consistency. The debut full-length Screwed, Blued & Tattooed (2000) kicked things off with a bang, followed by Bigger Than Jesus (2002) and Straight Flush Ghetto (2004), all released via the cult German label I Used To Fuck People Like You In Prison Records. These records quickly cemented their reputation as a band that could deliver both on stage and on record.

​

The momentum continued with Burnout Boulevard (2007), released on vinyl through I Used To Fuck People Like You In Prison Records and on CD via Century Media Records, followed by their explosive live DVD Berlin Burnout (2010). In 2012, they returned with Monkeys with Guns, and in 2015 with Flash the Leather, showing that the fire still burned just as hot.

​

Earlier releases include several EPs such as The Horrorway EP (1997, self-released), The Rock’n’Roll Race EP, Six Feet Down, Two Fingers Up (1999), and Partners in Crime Vol. 1 (2006). Their singles Do You Wanna… and It’s My Life, both released in 2004, are still crowd favourites and staples of their explosive live sets.

With their uncompromising style and deep roots in both punk and rock’n’roll, THE BONES continue to inspire fans and bands alike. They are not here to follow trends. They are here to raise hell.
