Lady Bones

Boston's Lady Bones grabbed me instantly by their full and absorbing mixture of alternative/punk/indie/grunge/rock/whateverthefuck and I can't get enough of it.

This trio blesses your ears with masterful guitar-work, blanketing bass structures, incredibly solid drum delivery and distinct vocal melodies. These are some solid releases and need the attention they deserve. Snag everything below and DIG!!!!!!
