Tell us about your music. How did you develop your sound?

We all grew up listening to bands like Pantera, Metallica and Silverchair, and grew into hardcore and punk so we all bring in this big cross section of different sounds that create the Bare Bones sound.

What’s your greatest source of inspiration for making music?

Personal enjoyment. The most important thing to us is to write music that the 5 of us want to listen to and enjoy playing.

What can punters expect from a Bare Bones live show?

To have fun with the 5 of us, lots of sweat and lots of beer.

What’s the best advice you’ve been given and who was it from?

"It's better to put your boot in mud than get mud in your boot"

What Australian track would you play to cheer up someone who was crying?

Frenzal Rhomb - Punch In The Face

What Australian track would you play to someone to make them cry?

Cold Chisel - Khe Sanh. There'll be tears in my vb in no time

You’re the DJ at a party. The dance floor is pumping. What Australian track do you put on next?

ACDC - You Shook Me All Night Long

What was the last local gig you went to? How was it?

Thesis Final Sydney show at Wasted Years. Was excellent, huge turn out from the Sydney punk scene with a great bro vibe.

Tell us about the bands or people in the Sydney music community that inspire you.

The Sydney scene has some amazing talent. Bands like Vices, Endless Heights, Perspectives, Gay Paris to name a few that are doing great and unique things. It encourages other bands to keep things fresh.

What are your plans for the rest 2014 and in to 2015?

To keep touring, expanding our reach and keep releasing music, perhaps a full length album!
