Strange Bones
Strange Bones consist of the Bentham brothers - Bobby (vocals, guitar), Jack (guitars) and Will (bass), and Nathan Sanderson (drums). They collectively grew up on an awe-inspiring diet of everything from 70’s street punk to jungle. Singer Bobby Bentham describes the band as “a commentary on the hyper-normalisation of modern society, our reliance on self-medication and self-built technological utopias in a world of accelerated modernity.” Hypnotised by performances from the likes of Black Flag, UK-Subs and Hawkwind, the sense of community combined with blistering energy is something Strange Bones endeavor to recreate at their notoriously ferocious live shows.

Blending socially conscious lyricism and carnival-esque beats with Riot Girl attitude, Millie and her band’s slick delivery with captivating stage performance is rapidly grabbing attention. Millie’s music is clearly eclectic and this is a fact she happily celebrates; “I like to think my music is full of energy and dexterity – a colourful clash of genres incorporating everything from rock and soul to ska and folk. I draw inspiration from many different artists; James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Skunk Anansie, Pink, The Who, Rolling Stones, The Specials and The Ramones being a few of my favourites. I was brought up listening to classical, theatre, rock, rhythm and blues, hip hop and more because my parents are both music lovers so it all plays a part in the way I write.”
