They have released eight albums, two EPs and a number of singles.〔Broken Bones complete (discography ) on Metal Archives.com, (accessed 10 December 2014).〕 The band has gone through a number of line-up changes over the years and have toured internationally. ==Career== Broken Bones are from Stoke On Trent, England and were formed by guitarist Anthony "Bones" Roberts in 1983 after he left Discharge.〔''Dem Bones'' (press-release ) on Jungle Records.net, (accessed, 10 December 2014).〕 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.〔Listing for Dem Bones on (Discogs.com ), (accessed 10 December 2014).〕 In Germany, the first two singles were gathered on the mini-album ''I. O. U...Nothing'' and released through Aggressive Rock Produktionen.〔(Listing ) for the ''I. O. U....Nothing'' mini-album on Discogs.com, (accessed 10 December 2014).〕 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.〔Listing for the ''See Through My Eyes'' single on Discogs.com, (accessed, 11 December 2014).〕 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).〔(Listing ) of the ''Bonecrusher ''album on Discogs.com, (accessed 11 December 2014).〕 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. Bones reformed the band with a new line up of Cliff on drums, Quiv on vocals and Darren "Thrasher" Harris (of Exit Condition) on bass. This is where the band took a more metal turn with their music, releasing "Losing Control". Two more albums were to follow with the 12 inch release "Religion is Responsible" and another album "Stitched Up". After these albums' release, the band's touring and recording fell into remission. In 1996 Broken Bones reformed. Bones as on guitar, Quiv on vocal, Hoddy on bass and Dave on drums. They released their first studio album in 8 years, "Without Conscience" in 2001 and in 2004, they released "Time For Anger, Not Justice". Both albums bring the band back to their roots as they play the brand of hardcore they're most well known for. They still gig and tour regularly. They were the last band to play before 2006's ill-fated British Invasion concert in San Bernardino was shut down. They played their last show with this line up supporting the UK Subs in 2010. In 2012 Broken Bones were to reform again, this time with original member Tezz Roberts back on bass, Bones on lead guitar and also returning to the group is Karl "Egghead" Morris of The Exploited, who played on the F.O.A.D. album. New to this line-up are Jeff "JJ" Janiak on vocals from fellow Stoke-on-Trent band "Wasted Life" and now singing for Discharge as well, and Andy Dawson of "Billyclub" on drums, but Karl Morris and Andy left the band and Dave took over on drums. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Broken Bones (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
