The Boneless Ones Share Two New Singles, New Album Coming Soon

Bay Area thrash/skate-punk crossover outfit The Boneless Ones have ended their 35-year hiatus with the release of two new singles, “Back to the Grind” and “Crossing Over the Bridge” on April 29. Additionally, the group announced the release of Back to the Grind, out May 13 via their own label, Thunder & Lightning Records. Watch the official video for “Back to the Grind” now!

“Back to the Grind” – Troy Takaki says “The name of the album was Chris’ idea. Max wrote a song about skating with your friends after a long time off. The first lyric to the song is ‘I’m back on board with my friends’. We named the song ‘Back to the Grind’ because it is just better than ‘Back on Board’. Well, we are back! After 36 years we are playing again!”

“Crossing Over the Bridge” – Chris Kontos says “This song is about Crossover. Do you know what that is? This song is owed to the Ruthie’s Inn moment and what the Bay Area created blending punk rock, metal, thrash, Rock ’n Roll.”

The Boneless Ones celebrate their much-anticipated return with new album, Back to the Grind. Featuring founding members Max Fox (vocals) and Troy Takaki (bass) with erstwhile drummer Chris Kontos (ex-Attitude Adjustment, ex-Machine Head) and new guitarist Craig Locicero (Dress the Dead, ex-Forbidden), and after 35 years, still – the Bay Area quartet breathe present-day life into the sounds/customs that crucially bridged punk, hardcore, metal, and skateboarding. In fact, it was appearances on pivotal compilations Them Boners Be Poppin’ (Boner) and Skate Rock Volume 3 – Wild Riders of Boards (Thrasher) that set up debut album Skate for the Devil for near-continuous reverence from the day of its release in 1986 to its most recent re-issue via Beer City Records in 2020.
