1. Elmo Kennedy O'Connor, known professionally as Bones, is an American rapper from Howell, Michigan. He is notable for the frenetic pace at which he releases new music, including over 40 mix tapes and 88 music videos since 2011, and his resistance to signing with a major record label or charging money for his music despite significant popularity and label interest. Born to a mother who designed clothing and a father who was a web designer. His grandfather was actor Robert Culp. When Bones was 7 years old, his family moved to Howell, Michigan. When he was 16, he dropped out of high school and moved to Los Angeles where his brother, Elliott, had already been living.
He has collaborated on three tracks with Raider Klan member Eddy Baker, including “High”, “Delinquents”, and “PayPal” off of Bones's albums Saturn (2013), Creep (2013), and Garbage (2014). Bones also performs and collaborates often with Xavier Wulf and another former Raider Klan member Chris Travis. Bones is 1 of the 4 members in the collective Seshollowaterboyz, which consists of Him (Bones), Xavier Wulf, Chris Travis, and Eddy Baker.
In 2014, Bones self-released 5 mixtapes through his label TeamSesh, including Garbage, which received coverage and critical acclaim from notable publications including The Fader, Pigeons & Planes, and RESPECT.
Bones headlined a sold out show at the House of Blues in Los Angeles on March 4, 2015. and opened for Shlohmo at The Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on May 7, 2015. The hook from Bones' song "Dirt" was featured in ASAP Rocky's "Canal St." on the 2015 At. Long. Last. ASAP album.
On September 17, 2015, Bones performed "Canal St." with ASAP Rocky on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show but was cut from the TV broadcast. Videos of the performance were made available online. Bones and his manager Elliott O’Connor, who is also his brother, have both stated that major labels have shown interest in signing him but he has declined up to this point. According to Max Bell of LA Weekly, "interested labels wanted him to be their 'white rapper,' an artist along the lines of Mac Miller and Machine Gun Kelly. But Bones wasn't interested in being remade.
2. Bones are a death metal band from Belgium, with two releases on Bandcamp, and an EP "Gate Of Night" out soon on Blood Harvest Records. Lineup: Stef (guitars/vocals), Jeroen (lead guitars/vocals), Viktor (drums), Laurens (bass).
3. Bones are a 3-piece death metal punk band from Chicago, with two releases on Bandcamp and a third currently being recorded. Originally members of the 90s thrash band Usurper, Bones compromises of Joe Warlord (drums), Carcass Chris (guitar), and Jon Necromancer (bass & vox).
4. Part performance artist, part ego drenched rock star, Bones rips delta blues with punks intensity, and throws in a little stripper jazz for colour. With the delivery of a storefront preacher, The Man Named Bones (the alter ego of one Michael Miller) sings, screams and growls Sex, Drugs and Rock and Roll with tongue firmly in cheek. Armed with an upright bass, an electric guitar, a sampler and a drum machine, Bones is a one man blues/punk machine.
5. Bones was an untitled noise project released on the French static noise / HNW label Slow Death Music, believed to by Julien Skrobek.

Bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know which way to go
Walking down the road
Lookin' at the streetlights
Wanna go home, but I don't feel right
Spend my days at the river, spend my nights in the forest
Wakin' up to birds screamin' like I've been here before
See the day I get my license Imma have somethin for ya
I got that butterfly blade, I don't got no hundreds on me
I don't got a damn thing to lose, if you're not with me
Smoking dope in my Adidas suit
Drop it, I don't need a roof
Look you in the eyes like all I truly need is you
Bathe in the sea, then I'm back into the cave
Bitch, it's SESH a.k.a the reason that you ain't the greatest
The lyrics to Bones's song Calcium express a feeling of uncertainty and restlessness. The singer doesn't know which way to go and is walking down the road, looking at the streetlights. They want to go home but something doesn't feel right. The singer spends their days at the river and their nights in the forest, feeling a sense of familiarity in nature. They wake up to birds screaming, as if they've been here before.
The lyrics take a darker turn as the singer mentions having a weapon, a butterfly blade. They also mention not having any money to lose, as if they have nothing to lose in general. They smoke dope in their Adidas suit and the singer looks someone in the eyes, stating that all they truly need is that person. The lyrics end with the singer bathing in the sea and then returning to the cave, asserting that they are SESH, which is the reason why the person they are addressing is not the greatest.
Overall, the lyrics of Calcium convey a sense of restlessness and a desire for something more. The singer finds solace in nature and isn't afraid of potentially dangerous situations, as evidenced by their weapon. However, they also express a deep yearning for connection and purpose, looking to their future and what they have to offer.
