In June 2025, US rockers Rattle Bones released ‘Desert Heart’. The single marked a slight shift from their usual sound, since they traded in some of their hard rock swagger for a smoother approach which introduced a pinch of Americana to the Rattle Bones musical blend. It may have not had as much of an edge, but from a songwriting and arrangement perspective, it was a single that suggested the band’s forthcoming album would definitely be worth checking out.

Premiere: Rattle Bones share new video for ‘Desert Heart’
When Rattle Bones released their debut single ‘Silver Bullets’ in January 2025, they immediately made a strong impression with their combination of hard edged guitar riffs and lyrical hooks. The band’s sound had a very retro appeal; there were moments during that number where the riffs took on a blues-edged swagger akin to Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Oh Well, Part 1’, but dropping into more of a hard rock bluster, the band conveyed even more of a fiery edge that suggested that these lads had been inspired by the legendary pre-grunge acts that ruled the hard rock airwaves between 1989-1991.
