Fetchin Bones was a cross-genre rock band from North Carolina. During a six-year career they produced five albums but were most celebrated for inspired live performances. One reviewer stated they were "a band that must be seen live for a full grasp of their eclectic frenzy".[1] During numerous tours Fetchin Bones supported acts such as R.E.M., the B52s, X and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.[2]Allmusic described the band as "a truly underrated group that didn't hit it big when they should've".[3]

Musical style


The band mixed blues, punk and country music, and Hope Nicholls' "powerhose" vocals were compared to Janis Joplin's in their "dirty intensity".[4] In a 1985 Whistle Test interview with Andy Kershaw, Nicholls said her influences include British bands Siouxsie and the Banshees and the Cocteau Twins.[5]


Fetchin Bones' second through fourth albums were produced by Don Dixon and recorded at Mitch Easter's Drive-In Studio and at Reflection Studios in Charlotte. The fifth and final album was produced by Ed Stasium in Los Angeles.


The band had pioneered a kind of grunge rock. However this style did not yield commercial success.[6]
