Born Without Bones plays their first London Headliner at The Victoria on June 1st, with support from The Losing Score & Failwife. Born Without Bones Born Without Bones has always been a band that didn’t quite fit in. While rooted in the Massachusetts DIY punk scene, they've always pulled from a wide range of influences. Traces of big guitars and even bigger hooks of ‘90s alternative mixed with the storytelling and subdued tones of heartland singer-songwriters, culminate in a sound that is distinctly their own. Born Without Bones' emphasis on crafting pop hooks sets them apart from most of their punk scene peers. The band has released four full lengths, Say Hello (2010), Baby (2013), Young At The Bend (2017) and Dancer (2022). The band formed in 2010 as a solo project by singer and guitarist Scott Ayotte. After the release of their debut LP “Say Hello,” Jim Creighton from Massachusetts post-hardcore act Therefore I Am joined on bass. A few months later, Jonathan Brucato rounded out the lineup on guitar. The band self released their sophomore record, “Baby” in 2013 and began touring the country in earnest. After a few years on the road the band released their third record, “Young At The Bend” on their own imprint, Devil You Know Records. During this time the band was joined by drummer Sam Checkoway who has played on subsequent releases. In 2021, they signed to Pure Noise Records and simultaneously released the “Pictures Of The Sun EP”, a collection of re-recorded and reimagined favorites from the band’s catalog like “Baby” and “Falling Asleep.” Their fourth full length album, “Dancer” was released the following year. In 2023, the band embarked on a 23 date US tour to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of their sophomore album “Baby.” The Losing Score Despite forming in a quiet corner of the West Midlands, The Losing Score make a lot of noise for a three-piece band. Inspired by the likes of Jeff Rosenstock and Prince Daddy & the Hyena, the three friends have crafted their own mix of emo-inspired pop punk, with less hooks about hating your hometown and more heart-on-sleeve lyrics about mental health, anxiety, and existential crises. Following the independent release of their first two EPs, The Losing Score teamed up with Boston’s Counter Intuitive Records in 2022 for their first full-length album, Learn To Let This Go. The underground buzz around the album grew to praise from the likes of Upset Magazine, Punktastic, and even ended up on the list of Kerrang! staff’s top albums of the year. Celebrating the album's release with tours around both the UK and North America, The Losing Score have now returned with their first new music in nearly 3 years. With the release of two new energetic singles, the band have a big summer ahead with shows alongside the likes of Macseal, Dikembe, Michael Cera Palin, and even more music to come. Failwife A legend of the underground warehouse transgender music scene, failwife captures the conflict and sadness of fighting your way through the stresses of 21st century relationships, and keeping yourself up despite the circumstances around you. Featuring members of Gender Warfare, Arch & the West London Valley Girls and Chasers, and with more music coming later this year Presented by Subwoofers Anonymous This is an 18+ event
