SUMMARY

Release Date: 31.8.2009

BOSH - Five gents who make music that not only gets inside your head, but into your heart. Music to move you.

Their influences come from iconic British bands and result in churning Hammond organs, big drum sounds, intense bass grooves, gritty guitars and expansive soundscapes. There's punch, there's power, there's passion, with moments of tenderness and beauty.

After two years honing the songs on the road BOSH went into the studio, emerging six months later to announce the arrival of their flagship album 'Sound The Alarms' released May 2008. Produced by a team which included Grammy nominated engineer/producer Steve Ennever and Paul Burton (Delirious, Elbow, Athlete and Snow Patrol) 'Sound The Alarms' captures the infectious live energy and hook laden songs that have won audiences over and helped BOSH build a notable following.

Not interested in fitting in with any scenes or following fashions (and all the better for it) BOSH are into making music that affects people. 'Sound The Alarms' is a fantastic offering from a band that stands out amongst some of today's predictable generic music. BOSH have a natural flare for creative, powerful song writing, backed up by a live performance that is truly captivating.

SIGNIFICANT GIGS

Past.

BOSH are favourites at the Nth Fest, England's largest indoor Christian Music Festival, which they co-headlined this year. They played to 600+ audiences at each of the 3 festivals so far.

BOSH have completed 150+ gigs, and have become one of the hardest working and well-known bands on the UK Christian music scene. Included in these gigs are appearances at Camden Town's famous Dublin Castle, Winchester's Railway Inn, Dorcester's Corn Exchange, Bournemouth's Opera House and Sussex University in Brighton.

Future.

BOSH are set to support up-and-coming indie rock band, The Plymouths on the 4th of their sell-out shows at Southampton's prestigious The Joiners Arms.

They are making several festival appearances this summer and are seriously looking to play in the States next year (2010).

REVIEWS

Tony Cummings | Cross Rhythms Music

" Bournemouth-based Bosh are one of those acts who've done the dues-paying, years of grassroots gigs and a smattering of zero budget independent recordings, but haven't until now delivered a top rate album. That all changes with this release from the same pioneering label that brought us [dweeb]. 'Sound The Alarms' delivers everything that Bosh's riveting stage performances suggested - impassioned, driving rock applied to hooky songs that eschew formula yet are instantly memorable. Lead singer Dave Griff has a gutsy voice which brings out the sharp spiritual points of the often thought-provoking lyrics, the arrangements are cleverly inventive (I particularly liked the piano interjections on "Blacklines" and the atmospheric sweep of the arrangement on the worshipful "There Is") and the production by Steve Ennever, Paul Burton, David Evans and the band themselves is crisp and sonically satisfying. From the Queen-tinged opener "Police Helicopter" with its manic careering rhythm to the closer "Hand" where a stripped down confessional song of gentle wistfulness suddenly surges into a full tilt rock anthem, this is a gem of an album. Bosh have been honing their craft for years to deliver this set. The fact that the long wait has paid off is testament both to the band's creativity and their commendable patience. "
