Kerrang! Magazine Error.
Hi there everyone. Just want to bring it to your attention that there has been an error in this week’s Kerrang! Magazine.
We were listed as the main support at the William Control gig that is reviewed in this week’s issue. The reviewer then mentioned that we are a ‘middle aged electronica band’. This, as I’m sure you all know, isn’t true.
Electro?!?!?
It turns out that the reviewer mistook the main support band, Contra Mundrum, for us, and reviewed them in our place, believing them to be us.
So don’t worry – we haven’t suddenly aged or adopted keyboards. We’re still To The Bones...
Hope Kerrang will sort this out and our good name won’t be sullied for too long...

***MANCHESTER MUSIC ALBUM OF THE WEEK***
The fine people have given "DUKE TYPE A" by TO THE BONES album of the week.
DUKE TYPE A * album of the week *
:: To The Bones ::
10 November 2008 / Medici Records / 10 Trk CD
By Manuel Ecostos
The very first quivering rumble of “Judith” is like an earthquake… and then the assault begins. Menacing, driving, relentless. “Duke Type A” is the album that To The Bones have always threatened to make and after a series of low budget, but no less thrilling singles and split releases, they’ve taken the sound of the Bolton underground to the masses. The public will soon realise that there’s no Peter Kay themed rock here, but the noise of LA on fire, Hollywood Hills exploding and the kind of mangling distortions that can only be described as high speed death race collisions. But To The Bones don’t just growl, they delightfully sneer too, as “Rex” thunders out a bass line well off the Richter scale and the vocals step in like a super-scary version of The Mission. The album melts into a melee of oceanic skirmishes and familiar reference points; “Tycho” and “Sharkies Bone Symphony” guide you through other spine tingling, nerve shredding episodes (“Sonic Mammoth”, “To The Fucking Bones”). Hard hitting but reassuring stuff from the these northern musical atomic warheads.

To The Bones – Duke Type A (Medici Records)
Chris Long
Just what are To The Bones? It sounds like an odd question but the truth is that despite their glorious riffs and big drums, it’s one that everyone who encounters them is hell-bent on answering.
Some take a look at the long locks and love of comic book art and push them in the direction of heavy rock. Others take their surging choruses and grizzled vocals and point them towards grunge.
Both of those opinions are wrong. If you really do want to stick them on a list, then you could probably file the Bolton four piece under heavy indie post-rock – but in all honesty, you’d be better off just shoving on this, their energetic debut, and just enjoying the whole thrilling, dynamic, electrifying brilliance of it.
To The Bones - Duke Type A
They are a band who wear their vast expanse of influences high on their sleeves – across the ten songs, nods to The Stooges, Motorhead, the Pixies and Queens Of The Stone Age all pop up, as do a myriad of others – but the beauty of 'Duke Type A' is that is undoubtedly the sound of To The Bones and no-one else.
Whether it’s the out-of-control rollercoaster of 'Sonic Mammoth', the tense, brooding paranoia of 'Lips On Red' or the dizzying pace and muscle of 'Sharkies Bone Symphony', the tight, frenetic finery of the band is present in spades.
Top of the pile are 'Rex' and 'Cay Augustina'. The former’s power was fine enough to make Manics producer Dave Eringa insist the band work with him, the latter has the intoxicating ability to make you try and start a mosh pit even if you're listening alone.
These two tracks alone are enough to sell the splendour of To The Bones to anyone. The fact that they come surrounded by eight more gems only makes it better.
With this much determination and talent on show, 'Duke Type A' should be the first step along a glittering path to stardom, regardless of how they’re tagged.

Tour Diary Blog 1. Basingstoke, Oxford and Chelmsford.
Smell it, smell the road, smell the service station, smell the sweat of your fellow men in confined spaces ( not really they actually smell very good ) and the diet of biscuits, chrisps and caffine. Bread in the mix and your on your way as a full fueled rock diesel punk rock n fuckin roll machine. Gear crammed in the back of the van with Tommy T-bone in total blackness if not for the small torch whilst reading a book on "MR. E." The rest of us in the front cockpit listening to mundane radio while the sun goes down and drive like a monster to Basingstoke. Money at an all time low and PUNK ROCK 101's hind legs kicking in like a horse on steroids.
We're rushing around a lot today. People laughing at the fact of how late we are to travel from the north all the way down to chelmsford. We're not worried, we know we'll get there, and we did. The light lounge in Basingstoke. We didnt really get to see the sights of basingstoke, but we got to see a HSBC and that was about it. The show was "ok". The bill was a bit random......a vintage prog band and an acoustic artist. ! The set list consisted of new album tracks in various orders over the nights.
We did the show, bagged our shit up and headed off to oxford to stay over where we were to play the next day at " The wheatsheaf" with the DRESENS. ( Winnebago Deal side project)
Oxford rocks. The wheatsheaf rocks. Things started to pick up as soon as we hit Oxford. Good venue. good £2 burgers and faster than lightning nitro food.
Great crowd at the Wheatsheaf and killer sound.
Last day off to chelmsford which is in Essex. I was relieved of my Van driving duties and i could finally sink a few beers.Fuck me. 2 days, 2 gigs not a drip of fucking beer. We headed to the BARHOUSE in Chelmsford. A very trendy looking bar. Partially receptive crowd including a pasionate 'bez' type charater dancing throughout the set. Interesting. Fill the petrol tank up, we're back off to the north around midnight. Arrive back in the mother land around 4am. Sleep. Wake up. Sort out supplies and gear for the next three shows starting this thursday at the METRO in London.
Next up, London, Brighton and York.
Red. ( as promised )
Over and out.
