Ohhhh yeahhhhh, dig it! Let me tell ya somethin\u2019 about the wildest, most bone-crunchin\u2019 crew to ever hit the punk scene. Bonecruncher, straight outta Wellington, New Zealand, formed in the most savage year of 2013! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got Anna Bouwmeester, a vocal powerhouse, screamin\u2019 from the top rope. Then there\u2019s Chris “Retro” Maclaughlin slingin\u2019 riffs on guitar like a six-string savage, coming from the grindcore chaos of Numbskull<\/a><\/strong>. Dan Fraser, the drum-pounding madman, laying down beats harder than a piledriver, with a rap sheet including Shortlived<\/a><\/strong>, Deaf Terrorists<\/a><\/strong>, Bonus Donor<\/a><\/strong>, and even moonlightin\u2019 in Phone Sex Robots<\/a><\/strong>. Sarsha Leigh-Douglas, holding it down on bass, a D-beat queen from Rogernomix<\/a><\/strong> and Fantails<\/a><\/strong>, with some Shortlived<\/strong> action in her past too. And Vanya Vitali, the other guitar-slinging warrior, fresh from Dunedin\u2019s ska-punk scene with Ritalin<\/strong> and Skaface Claw<\/strong>, while still ripping it up in Freak Magnet<\/a><\/strong> and Raw Panic<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
