New Bass Player
In March of 2006 bass player Gary Craig felt his time with us had run it's
course and it was the right time for him to leave the band. During his 5
year period with TBM Gary played an integral part in shaping our sound and
helped push the band to a new level.
However, we feel that this set-back can be used as an opportunity to improve, and
further unleash TBM's potential in the months and years to come. To this end
we are now delighted to welcome new bass wizard Stewart Sutherland to The
Bonemachine ranks. Stewarts tone is fantastic, and his playing is modeled
around rock solid tightness with the drums, and stylistic flashy runs. His
contribution will yield a more focused articulation and clarity in the lower
registers; delivering an untapped volume of power and edge to The
Bonemachine sound.

The Bone Machine began life in earnest during the late 90s with jam sessions between one-time bass player Allan Cope, Guitarist Dave O’Neill and Vocalist Alan Osborne. Early influences at that time were bands such as Silver Chair and Sound Garden. These first few sessions showed instant promise, with Osborne’s gutsy melodic vocal style fusing flawlessly with O’Neill’s sophisticated power riffing. This union was to form the creative spark that is the heart of The Bone Machine’s song writing
Soon the trio linked up with drummer Martin McConnell and Guitarist Steve McCredie. McConnell’s
powerful drumming proved to be the missing ingredient. The Bone Machine were now shaping up into an exciting creative force.
In the years that followed, The Bone Machine played all available venues on the Glasgow circuit (and beyond), exhaustively. In this time they recorded several Mini-EP CDs in local studios. The CDs were always very well received by press and fans alike, but the band themselves were never fully happy with the quality of the recordings. Or with the performances under the ‘time-is-money’ recording conditions. Allan Cope was replaced with new Bassist Gary Craig; Craig added a more aggressive cutting edge to the sound.
However, increasingly the Pay-to-Play policy employed by many Glasgow venues at this time dampened the bands enthusiasm to play locally. The gigs became less and less and in the end they choose to play only select gigs. With the departure of Steve McCredie The Bone Machine at this point were facing dark days, and the prospect of disappearing into obscurity. They choose to continue playing and writing together, playing purely for the love of their craft and a deep routed self-belief that their day would come. From behind closed doors they keep writing songs and working hard to sharpen their skills. Soon they began experimenting with self-recording. The early attempts were patchy to say the least. Now, 2 years down the line The Bone Machine have emerged again like a phoenix from the ashes of despair with their brilliant new self-recorded and produced album ‘ONE.6ONE8’. They had always shown great potential in the past, and now with this album they are delivering, in spades! Giving particular satisfaction to those who have always believed in the band. The album sounds so good that requests for Guitarist Dave O’Neill to produce other bands have been rolling in.
Just as the album was being finalized The Bone Machine recruited talented Guitarist Dave Campbell. His playing has opened up the live sound to give a fuller livelier mix. Although Campbell arrived too late to play on ‘ONE.6ONE8’, his contribution to the band is already tangible.

First Gig with new Album material
The Beith Gig was very well received! And with a turnout of several hundred Beithers was surprisingly busy, glad to see the live Rock scene is thriving in deepest Ayrshire. Many thanks to Arson to Ashes for inviting us. Arson to Ashes also kicked some serious arse with a great performance. We will be playing with them again at 'The Vail' in Glasgow on the 27th of January 2006. Should be a belter!!!.....

New Album '1.618'
The Bone Machines new self-produced studio album is finaly throught the final mastering stages. It will go on sale at the Beith gig on Friday 16th Dec!!!
The band are very happy with the results and feel the sounds and songwriting are far in advance of anything we've done before. Most of the tracks are hot rockers, but the stand out track hogging the positive feedback is the ballad 'IF'. The melody cuts the ear enough for mainstram radio, but the track still retains the TBM cutting edge heavy guitars and angst laiden power vocals that define TBM.
Hope yoll like it......
