About

​

Well, hello there...

Bone Idle Bros. are a seven piece Americana band from Greenock, Scotland. Since 2019 they’ve been bringing their soulful, country vibes to a devoted and fast-growing fanbase.

Friends for years, and with hundreds of shows behind them in other bands - dive bars to festivals - they eventually came together to bring the sweet sound of the Bone Idles to the stage.

Influences? We’re talking Wilco, Neil Young, Alabama 3, Hank Williams, The Pogues, Willie Nelson, Talking Heads, Steve Earle and The Las. Stir in a drop of punk energy and... well, you’ll get the idea.

The band paid their dues for a year or so on the live circuit, honing a tight and groovy sound with the view to recording an LP.

These best laid plans were shelved as the world came to a stop for the best part of two years. But there was to be a silver lining from that shitshow. New songs were written and there was now more to be written about.

The Bros. re-grouped and came off the ropes in better shape than ever. New shows in new places.

Then, it was into the studio to record their eponymous debut long player with producers  Johnny Smillie and Kevin Burleigh.

Released in 2024 and celebrated with a joyous and boozy, sold out show's on homeground in Gourock and Glasgow, the record is going down a storm. You’ll find it on gatefold vinyl, CD and all major streaming platforms. With the singles ‘Sometimes’, ‘Lately’ and ‘Whisky and Pills’ along with the brand new release ‘It’s Easy’, this is an album to tell your friends about. They’re gonna like it.

The Bros. have been busy on the promotion trail with radio slots and interviews along with a buzzing and catchy social media presence.

Catch them soon at a bar near you.

With the soul of the city, from the heart of the country – Bone Idle Bros. will shake the dirt clean off your boots.
