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've been missing you
But I don't know what to do when we're in this situation
Can't even have a conversation
How am I supposed to feel when I just wanna be talking
But it's always got me feeling like I'm the storm clouds in your blue skies
Cause I always bring you down
Further than you've ever been
Way back when.

Line by Line Meaning
The night is dull till we step in
The atmosphere is boring and uneventful until we make our presence known
But we’re not here to stay
We are only here temporarily to perform
Give us glares give us hate
We don't care about negative attention, it doesn't affect us
But we’ve come here to play
Our purpose is to perform music
Bands have come, bands have gone
Other musical acts have performed here in the past
But you ain’t seen nothing till now
Our performance is going to be unlike any other you've seen before
You shut your doors, cover your ears
You may try to ignore our performance, but it's impossible to escape the loud music
But the music’s way too loud
Our music is overpowering and cannot be ignored
It’s safe to say we’re ready to rock
We are prepared to put on an amazing performance
The night is young and it just won’t stop
Our performance will continue late into the night
So pack up your gear and head for the streets
If you can't handle the noise, it's time to leave
We’ve got the stage so get up on your feet
We are in control of the performance, so join in and enjoy the music
Covet the noise, it's coming fast
Embrace and enjoy the loud music coming your way
Step into the night and make it last
Enjoy this memorable night and make the most of it
Cause it’s time to wake the dead
It's time to energize and excite the audience
The stage is set
The performance area is ready and prepared for our show
The lights are hung
The stage is fully lit and ready for the performance
So grab your sticks
Musicians should grab their drumsticks
Grab an ax, and let that sucker roll
Guitarists should grab their instrument and play their hearts out
Bang your head and shake your bones
The audience should let loose and dance to the loud music
It happens all so fast
The performance will go by quickly
We’ll make you jump
Our high-energy music will make you want to move and dance
We’ll make you scream
Our music is so exciting it will make you yell and shout
We’ll induce a heart attack
Our music is so intense it may feel like it's causing physical harm
The lights are gone
The performance has ended and the stage lights have been turned off
The stage is bare
The performance area is empty and bare without any equipment or musicians
And no one’s here to scream
The audience has left and there is no one left to cheer or applaud
The crowd has cleared
Everyone has left the performance area
But something still remains
Even though the performance is over, the memory and impact still remain
Memories and ringing ears
The memories of the performance and the sound still echo in your mind
In time they all will fade
Over time, the memories of the performance will become less vivid
But now we know we woke you up
Our performance was able to awaken and excite the audience
And that won’t go away
The excitement and energy caused by the performance will remain in your memory
Cause its time to wake the dead
Our music is so powerful it can even awaken the dead

Lyrics
Just drown in the bass
Just a teenage boy with some drugs in his veins
Mask on his face, got a nine on his waist
Somewhere along the line young man went crazy
Rain drops falling, best friends calling
Voicemail full, delete it, I never bother
Love for my father, care for my mother
Still sometimes I feel like I'm fucking going under
I'm dead, I'm Bones
See, black cover my tomb
See, this graveyard's where I call home
So that casket is my room
VHS and it's glitchin'
Cough suppressants I'm sippin'
Got cobwebs on my comforters, I got holes on all of my linens
Pocket watch in my britches, got no time for these bitches
Only got time to be living, but I'm dead so - just forget it, yeah
Bitch, drown
Just drown in the bass
Just drown in the bass
Bitch, drown
Just drown in the bass
Just drown in the bass
Bitch, drown
Bitch, drown in the bass
Let her drown in the bass
Bitch, drown
Let 'em drown in the bass
We riding 'round and we swervin'
When they see the team, they get nervous
We riding 'round and we serving, bitch
We pulling guns for no purpose
SESH, SESH
