Formed in North West England late 2014, RIVAL BONES are a raucous rock power duo consisting of James Whitehouse and Chris Thomason influenced by bands including Audioslave, QOTSA, DFA1979 & Rage Against The Machine.
Making their debut back in 2015 with the release of ‘You Know Who You Are’ RIVAL BONES began to receive airplay from BBC Introducing, Planet Rock, Team Rock and Real Rock Radio. Followed up by ‘Robot Girl’ and ‘Lost Along The Way’ in 2016, RIVAL BONES have began to establish themselves as one of the hottest rock bands to emerge from the North West in the last decade.
Playing storming shows at the O2 Academy in Liverpool, The Kazimier, The Arts Club and a headlong gig for BBC Introducing at The Cavern in 2016, RIVAL BONES are a real force to be reckoned with.
After the release of their self titled EP, shows over in South Korea with Sound City established RIVAL BONES as a true emerging international artist who's raw sound resonates in multiple continents.
