STRANGE BONES + CALVA LOUISE

Strange Bones hail from the murky depths of the British seaside town Blackpool, the Bentham brothers Bobby, Will and Jack, were raised on a diet of classic punk and have been playing music together since they were children.

They have toured the UK and Europe tirelessly, with highlights including supporting Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes and performing at festivals such as Reading and Leeds, Download and The Great Escape. Their uniquely ferocious and adrenaline fuelled live shows are as experimental visually as they are sonically.

Based in Manchester, Calva Louise have been developing a sound that is entirely their own since Jess, Alizon and Ben formed the band in London at the end of 2016.

Their songs are strongly influenced by Latin Rock as well as British and American bands, showing ambitious songwriting and outright guitar riff hooks from Jess, futuristic fuzz bass from Alizon and crushing hybrid drums from Ben.

They performed sold out shows across the UK and the EU, supporting world-class artists like Highly Suspect on their European Tour (abruptly stopped in March 2020), and Albert Hammond Jr. who said about the band: “I was just blown away by their songs and the structure and the push and pull of their music in general”.
