Reverend Bones is the moniker of Australian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and activist Michael John Bones.
Having grown up in a devout Pentecostal Christian community in the Aussie outback, Bones started deconstructing his faith in his early 20s. The songs from his debut record, Escape From Heaven, are inspired by his personal experience of the death of God, and his attempt at making sense of the world anew.
With an indie rock sound that combines flavours of country-blues, gospel and grunge, Bones explores themes like religion and spirituality, work and play, love and sex, addiction and mental health, masculinity and gender questioning, and the impending climate apocalypse.
Releasing one song every month of 2021, Bones' first single Tycoon has already been premiered on Australia's favourite radio station, Triple J.
As an activist, in 2020 Bones helped plan <a href="spotify:artist:5YGY8feqx7naU7z4HrwZM6" data-name="Miley Cyrus">Miley Cyrus</a>' bushfire relief concert, supported Heidi Lenffer's (<a href="spotify:artist:5DCtsJfyBEzvZ9qN7jSA6j" data-name="Cloud Control">Cloud Control</a>) Future Energy Artists initiative, and co-created New Energy, a night of climate conversations between celebrities and experts, with <a href="spotify:artist:4xrDCETyApzUQ6xzcc6QtS" data-name="Jack River">Jack River</a>.
