STRANGE BONES are set to kick start their loudest chapter, announcing the release of their highly anticipated debut album ENGLAND SCREAMS on the 20th of August 2021, via FRKST / 300 Entertainment. As a taste of things to come, the band have revealed the title track ENGLAND SCREAMS, a ferocious call to arms that blurs the lines between punk, trap and electronica.
Speaking of the new single ENGLAND SCREAMS, frontman Bobby Bentham explains “It’s like we’re living in a pantomime, everyone is waiting and expecting for something shocking to happen. It’s a reality TV show. England Screams. Society’s paradigm of a typical human being is breaking down, constantly changing, in some amazing ways, in a new world which feels more authoritarian than ever. It’s as if we’re moving forwards and backwards at the same time, an insane contradiction that is fuelled by the hyper-normal behaviour of the press and the state, which are inevitably the same thing.”
| A mutant creation spawned from a year of experimentation and pushing personal boundaries, forthcoming album ENGLAND SCREAMS is Strange Bones’ most authentic and ambitious work to date. With Bobby at the helm on writing, production, mixing and engineering, the record is a seismic, bone-crushing sonic escape. He explains “The idea for ENGLAND SCREAMS came from trying to understand the relationship between order and chaos, the two factions that fly different flags but create balance when they meet in battle. I want to be honest with myself about the obscurities of life and the mind. I’m not afraid of taking things to extremes, which aligns with the highs and lows of not just songwriting, but life in general. It’s where I feel comfortable when creating, completely outside of my comfort zone, which is fucked up, and asks the question if there was ever a comfort zone to begin with. The album also looks at the devil inside, and finding that balance between light and dark”. ENGLAND SCREAMS Album Artwork and Tracklist |

| Hailing from the murky depths of 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. Joined later by Nathan Sanderson on drums, Strange Bones’ unhinged and full-throttle sound is a mix of distorted guitars and heavy sub-bass, all held together with venomous vocal delivery and biting lyrics. “Strange bones has never been driving in one lane, the whole fucking highway is open”, smiles Bobby. The band have toured the UK and Europe tirelessly, earning a reputation for ferocious and adrenaline fuelled live shows that are as experimental visually as they are sonically. Recent highlights include support to Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, alongside performing at festivals such as Reading and Leeds and Download. Further tour dates will be announced very soon. Bold and unpredictable, ENGLAND SCREAMS is set to take Strange Bones to new heights. |
