UK psychedelic street punk/desert rock three piece
BONES ATE ARFA are a UK psychedelic street punk/desert rock three piece, made up of Bones (guitar), 8 (drums), and Arfa (vocals and bass). Once described as “junkyard dog riffs” after the release of their debut single ‘Asbestos’, they have since gained recognition online and in person from artists such as Muse, Fred Durst (Limp Bizkit), Isaac Holman (Soft Play), Royal Blood, Tigercub, cool sorcery, Demob Happy, and Bad Nerves.
While attaining a respectable following on social media, they have received spins and features on Clash Magazine, BBC Radio 6, Radio X, Dork, Earmilk, Louder Than War, and have successfully burned their stamp into the UK’s southern gig circuit, all in under two years.
PIECES
We’re pieces, a bass led band from Essex twisting punk, rock and electronic grit into something raw, political and loud. No guitars, just filthy bass riffs, banging drums and sharp social commentary.
We channel fury into focus and our frontman Paul has plenty to say. Our latest releases, Money Machine and Do One, build toward an explosive EP landing summer 2026.
