Broken Bones are a hardcore punk band founded in 1983 and led by Anthony 'Bones' Roberts. They evolved from the band Discharge, and in later moved into crossover. They have released eight albums, three EPs and a number of singles. The band has gone through a number of line-up changes over the years and have toured internationally.
Broken Bones are from Stoke On Trent, England and were formed by guitarist Anthony "Bones" Roberts in 1983 after he left Discharge. The original lineup included Tony's twin brother Terence 'Tezz' Roberts (also ex-Discharge) on bass, Nick 'Nobby' Dobson on vocals and drummer Darren 'Bazz' Burgress. Their first single "Decapitated" was released in January 1984, with the follow-up single "Crucifix" released in May 1984. Terry Roberts left the band to join U.K. Subs and Paul 'Oddy' Hoddy replaced him on bass. This line-up signed to Fall Out Records and recorded the band's first album Dem Bones, produced by Mike Stone. They toured around Europe and North America, mostly as support. In Germany, the first two singles were gathered on the mini-album I. O. U...Nothing and released through Aggressive Rock Produktionen.
During their North American tour, the band met James Hetfield and Scott Ian at their CBGB show in New York. Upon their return to Britain, singer Nick Dobson had decided to remain in the US and Hoddy took over vocal duties, reducing the band to a trio. With this line-up the 'See Through My Eyes' single was recorded, produced by Colin Jerwood. The songs were also included in the U.S.-only album Bonecrusher that was released through Combat Core Records (the rest featured on an unreleased EP). Towards the end of 1985 Hoddy left to join Conflict, and Terry Roberts resumed bass playing duties. and the F.O.A.D. album was released. Eventually the band ground to a halt.
Later the band reformed once more with the original line up to record 'Trader In Death' ep,on the newly formed RFB recordings owned by Rab Fae Beith from UK Subs, a record the band cites as their best recording.
