Bone Orchard were one of those bands from the UK who where strongly influenced by The Birthday Party. But instead of copying, they created a sound of their own. While the first records still have The Birthday Party sound, their 'Jack' LP shows more variety by adding other instruments like piano, cello, violin and saxophone. And as always, Chrissy Mc Gee, the female vocalist, groans and growls in her own distinctive way.
There's a deathrock page on Bone Orchard here.
I will post some more Bone Orchard records in the future.

Another amazing entry of incredible musical worth. Her voice will hypnotize you like a darker Siouxsie. This music can get intricate and involved, very compelling on all accounts - a must listen!
Keep an eye out for more, folks, this is the stuff..
