Shackles and Bones

Mit Lieder wie 'Death Clown Communist' zeigt Shackles and Bones dass sie jedes Thema knallhart ansprechen. Die aus Südafrika, Grahamstown stammende Old School Rock Band weist Einflüsse aus Modern Rock. // Dave Glover - Guitar & Vocals Luke Clayton - Guitar & Vocals Julian Arenzon - Drums Steven Ellery - Bass // Formed in July 2010 in Grahamstown, South Africa by Dave Glover, Alex Williamson, Neil Van Zuydam and Luke Clayton, the band quickly took-off and established itself within the Grahamstown arena. After merely 3 months playing together, the guys had written 8 songs, and came 2nd in Rhodes University's LMS Battle of the Bands, winning recording time at Sonic Arts Studios. Using their prize, they recorded their demo album, which was produced and mixed by Luke Clayton himself. 2011 saw the playing alongside national bands such as Southern Gypsy Queens, Dance!Youre on Fire and CrashCarBurn. In July 2011, they played shows at the Grahamstown National Arts Festival, receiving many positive reviews, great crowd response and a whole lot of experience! 2012 saw the beginning of a new era for Shackles and Bones with Steven Ellery and Grant Mears replacing Neil Van Zuydam and Alex Williamson respectively. Since that time Shackles and Bones has released their new EP, Free Parking and have been aired on 5FM with their track Death Clown Communist. Shackles and Bones also shot a music video to that same track and has currently surpassed 1000 hits on YouTube in just 4 months. 2013 saw Shackles and Bones adopt a new drummer, Keegan Watkins. *Press Release* This year has also seen Shackles enter the *Rolling Stone ROCKSTARTER* competition which will hopefully lead to some great opportunities and exposure!! What their future holds, no one knows. But one thing is for sure: these guys will continue to rock, to roll, and deliver one hell of a show!
