Formed in 1989, Rockin’ Bones (Arnaud Collin “The Snake”: vocal, Patrice Balluais “Psycho Pat”: drums, Jean Philippe Lloret “Spectrex”: Guitar, Nicolas, then from 1990, Fabien Metayer “Eskimo”: double bass ) practiced a classic style of Psychobilly, a bit in the style of the Krewmen. Their only album, Welcome To Forbidden Planet, is a real success. It features only original compositions, except for a cover in French of Pickled and Preserved by Demented Are Go. The group alternates songs in English and French, and unlike others, the lyrics are well written, and we avoid the typical French aspect, which sticks to too many French groups. Rockin’ Bones seemed to have no other pretensions than fun, and it is ultimately the best way to approach this music.
