Nadat Steef en Jules in hun voorgaande band enkel opgescheept zaten met mainstream emo pop bandleden, besloten ze na een uit de hand gelopen ruzie over de hoeveelheid mineuren in hun muziek, de band anders te gaan vormen. Een band van no bullshit rock and roll!

Gezocht werd naar een bassist die deze wilde jonge honden simpelweg bij kon houden. Deze werd gevonden in wildboy Sven, die bekend gaat in Son als "de knaap met de vlugge vingers".

Al snel was duidelijk dat dit trio aan elkaar gewaagt is en dat ze menig Eindhovens rockcity bands het nakijken geven.

- Ze zijn op Nederland 3 geweest
- Winnaars Stoepslag 2009

Ze hebben in grotere zalen gestaan waaronder : Effenaar Eindhoven , Bosuil Weert , Dynamo Eindhoven , Fenix Sittard.

Voorprogramma’s gedaan voor : Bobby Kingsize , Vegas for millions , The 101’s , Spchlss.

Hard Times
Black-Bone Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm just tryin to protect myself
You know what I'm sayin
For the wars to come
Straight warrior
What cho gonna do when they come for you
Y'all feel me

Times, hard times

Lord my hard times
You know it got me feelin bent up n stuff
Smokin and drinkin too much
Again, it slowly erase my sunshine
Again, it slowly erase my sunshine

Can't he see that we
Are in need to be free(free)
Are in need to be free(free)
Are in need to be free(free)
Are in need to be free(free)

And yes we would be blessed
If we could rest in heaven( heavin, heavin, heavin)
And wouldn't you be blessed
If you could rest in heaven(heaven, heaven, heaven)

Now I can I facts with God as my witness
That this wickedness will not remain
You've got to make up your mind
You want to be saved?
Make up your mind
Or do you want to die?
You want to die
Oh yes were thugs were more than thugs
Got soldiers wastelands warriors
Were on a mission for God
So bartenda, bartenda, bartenda
So much hurt and pain
Bloddy murders man
