Mood Marauders

posted in: Artist Features • Country

The music of Tired Old Bones conjures up a particular mood ” one that might befall you on a whiskey muddled evening on your back porch, wind whipping through the trees and dogs baying at the moon ¦ something like that. The Boston band has yet to fully flesh out their sound, but the bones are there. Think bluesy dirges, muddy guitars and rock & stomp drums. It’s the soundtrack for black throughts and desperate deeds. The only bright spots to be found are in the lustrous strains of a Hammond organ and comely female vocals splayed over murky arrangements. Do Not Disturb has the beginnings of good, gothic southern rock but lacks the depth to truly make your soul shudder. Country Circus is more up-tempo and overtly spooky” the perfect soundtrack for a vaudevillian act from hell. If you’re seeking the creeps, look no further. Otherwise, reserve Tired Old Bones for those nights you just want to brood.
