Bone Haus: Unearthing the Raw Edge of Boise's Psychedelic Garage Punk
Dive into the gritty underbelly of Boise's music scene with Bone Haus, a band that's carving out a niche where psychedelic vibes meet the raw, unapologetic energy of garage punk. With a sound that's as abrasive as it is intoxicating, Bone Haus isn't just playing music; they're conjuring up a sonic maelstrom that pulls you right into the heart of the underground.
Who is Bone Haus? Formed in the heart of Idaho, Bone Haus is a quartet that doesn't shy away from the dark corners of rock. Rain Marie's vocals cut through the noise like a knife, while Andre Maldonado's guitar work sends shivers down your spine with its haunting riffs. Allison Winkler holds down the fort with her bass, providing a backbone that's as sturdy as the bars they probably played in to get where they are. And Joe Black on drums? He's the heartbeat, the chaotic rhythm that keeps the whole damn thing from flying off the rails.
Their latest album, "In Mourning", released this past June, is a testament to their evolution. It's a ten-track journey through the depths of human emotion, wrapped in layers of distortion and melody that only Bone Haus could deliver. From the opening track, "Brick by Brick," which builds like an impending doom, to the chilling "Kiss of Death," each song tells a story of loss, rebellion, and the raw human condition.
"In Mourning" isn't just an album; it's an experience. "ROT" and "To the Knife" are tracks that grab you by the throat, offering no apologies for their intensity, while "Silent Hill" and "Freedom From Life" take you on a trip through the psyche, where every note feels like a step further into the abyss. The album's artwork, masterfully crafted by Roxy Albig, mirrors the music's dark, introspective nature, further embedding the listener in Bone Haus's world.
If you're looking for music that doesn't just play in the background but demands your full attention, your respect, and maybe even a bit of your soul, Bone Haus is where you'll find it. They're not here to make friends; they're here to make music that resonates, challenges, and endures.
So, crank up "In Mourning," and let Bone Haus take you on a ride through the gritty, unfiltered essence of rock where the music isn't just heard; it's felt.
