coloured vinyl! Big John Bates is initiating you into their Southern Gothic Death Cult; a band with an orchestral edge of "heavy-hearted cello, weeping upright and come-hither guitars". Every piece was painstakingly brought together from the album art created by Santiago Caruso (Pan's Labyrinth) to the mixing David Carswell (Teagan & Sara, New Pornographers). Songwriting, vocals and the heavy lifting is all from Brandy Bones & Big John Bates. Along with upright bass Brandy contributed violin, cello and thumb piano while John broke into his collection of guitars, dobros and percussion. The recordings feature Leanne Laboucher on cello and Greg Gravy on mandolin while both JT Massacre and Brother Kris drummed for their lives! Most tracks for "Bestiary" were recorded on the Caleiuche at dock in Vancouver. The boat's aged teak and hardwood floors were symbiotic with the wooden instruments - we advise you chase it with a dirty shot of whiskey . let it grab your fancy! 10 songs, incl. two great cover versions of 16 Horsepower und Iggy Pop.

4th Rock'n'Roll-Blues-Punk album by the band from Canada. Record Label: Stag-O-Lee Style: Garage Rock

Battered Bones came out of the aptly named Absinthe Studios at the hands of Denver producer Robert Ferbrache (16 Horsepower, Woven Hand, Slim Cessna): smoothing Bates' raw appeal into and Brandy's Big Sky horizons into a gothic western. The rustic punk style on Battered Bones brings to mind a hard drive over dirt roads in a flat black '69 Charger. In other words western style and raw power that shakes the roots out of the woodwork. Starting as Annihilator's singer Bates & his razor-sharp Gretsch have chiseled out a career with a caravan of misfits, playing hundreds of shows every year across North America & Europe. He's been featured on Battlestar Galactica, on A&E Discovery, played for thousands at European festivals, had songs in countless movies and TV shows. After a quick 7" release Bates spent the past two years holed up and writing with Höfner Strings' Brandy Bones before they hit the road in 2012 with Indiana friends Murder by Death. Brandy's love for old-school country infects her voice inside her often bleak lyrics while the band harnesses a wall of sound in a style she has christened "Rustic Punk". Perfect for a band whose show is a spellbinding hour or sound wrapped in physical showmanship & slashed to ribbons. Don't expect them to stay on the stage - they like to get up close & personal - not just playing from the heart but tearing it out by the roots Record Label: Rookie Style: Rockabilly
