Bones Ate Arfa are a psychedelic street-punk and desert rock three-piece from Brighton, UK, made up of Bones (guitar), 8 (drums), and Arfa (vocals & bass). Once described as delivering “junkyard dog riffs” after their debut single, the band have since drawn attention from artists such as Fred Durst, Isaac Holman, and others across the UK underground scene.
Defying conventions, Bones Ate Arfa exist as both real-life musicians and cartoon characters, bringing their sound to life through an imaginative world of music videos and self-made comic books — including “Akimbo People Official Graphic Novel” and “Just Bananas – The Potassium Pursuit.” Their creative duality blurs the line between music and myth, making them as much storytellers as they are sonic anarchists.
In under two years, the band have built an undeniable presence both online and on stage, earning spins and coverage from Clash Magazine, BBC Radio 6, Radio X, Dork, Earmilk, and Louder Than War, while tearing up venues across the UK’s southern circuit.
“Just Bananas” captures the essence of their wild aesthetic — a chaotic, high-energy blend of humour, grit, and pure punk rebellion that cements Bones Ate Arfa as one of Britain’s most inventive and unpredictable new acts.
