From Stoke On Trent England

Was formed by guitarist Tony "Bones" Roberts in early 1983 a few months after he quit Discharge, (d-beat punk rock) one of the most distinctive, and successful bands to emerge from the punk movement in the early 80's. Bones recruited his twin brother Terry "Tezz" Roberts (also a former Discharge member) on bass, vocalist Nobby and drummer Baz to the line up. Bones unveiled his latest juggernaut with a solid year of gigging, leading to the release in January 1984 of the screaming "Decapitated".Fired by the popularity which Broken Bones had already inspired, the single promptly rocketed into Britain's independent top ten. The follow up single "Crucifix" was then released in May, inevitably it scored just as highly as the predecessor, and proved that Broken Bones meant serious business.Retaining the services of Discharge producer Mike Stone the band recorded its first album "Dem Bones" with which the band's distinctive early sound would stand head and shoulders over pretty much every punk album of the time, and today is still regarded as a classic.Live shows became increasingly riotous celebrations, the established press was paying attention. Not since punk's heyday in the late 1970s had a band seemed poised for great things. That chance was lost when over a year elapsed before the band's third single. A year nevertheless which saw the band consolidate its vinyl reputation with never ending touring.Broken Bones' 1983 live album "Live at the 100 Club" remains the acid test for anyone who claims to be real punk today, a record which forges an unimagined middle ground between hardcore, metal and the apocalypse.The much anticipated third single "Seeing Through My Eyes" was well worth the wait, with "Never Say Die" following up, and then came the Bonecrusher album which was released only in the U.S. and mini album "Trader in Death" which immortalized some of the band's best-loved songs.Times were changing both in and outside the group. By 1986 in Britain, punk was officially old hat (if only briefly, as it turned out). In America where the band was readily adopted by the hardcore set, it was still a marginal interest, big enough to keep a band on the road but that was about it.The group's line up was changing as well, Tezz had left after "Crucifix", and replaced by Oddy, then Nobby left and Oddy took over vocals as well. By 1986 Oddy went on to join Conflict, and the returning Nobby and Tezz were joined by a second guitarist Karl Morris (Exploited) for the studio/live album F.O.A.D. More followed in F.O.A.D's footsteps, unheralded harbingers of the mayhem which passes for metal today and in 1989 the band took a more thrash metal direction and released the album Losing Control, gone were Nobby, Baz and Tezz, and Quiv appeared on vocals. Two more were to follow with the 12 inch release "Religion is Responsible" and another album "Stitched Up" that seemed to be it.Until in 1998 Broken Bones reformed, Bones on guitar as ever, Oddy back on bass, the now veteran Quiv resuming vocals and new drummer Dave solely to capture the intense uncompromising sound of their early releases. They started to do a few live shows and a tour of Europe, then April 2001 saw the release of their first full length record for 8 years with searing metallic hardcore riffs, thunderous bass over frenetic drums, all topped off by Quiv's growling vocals, they leap out of the speakers and sucker-punch you around the head with a glorious haze of hardcore mayhem, Themes tackled include America's questionable gun laws, relationship breakdown and mental illness, all assaulted with an old-skool, UK/HC savagery that will put many US punk bands to shame, which makes Without Conscience on a par with the first album "Dem Bones".
