Sydney's Bare Bones have had an exceptional year this year, they put out their debut album Bad Habits which has managed to score some rave reviews from plenty of our staff, they've done a few headline shows in support of it and managed to score the opening slot for Stone Sour's East Coast Tour as well as shows with The Bronx and UNIFY. The boys will keep the momentum going into 2018 with plans that'll definitely please their new and existing fan base, but until then, here's bassist James Clarke's guest contribution for Wall of Sound's 2017 Year in Review...

Favourite Moment Your Band Had in 2017
"Probably loading in to the first show of the Stone Sour tour and all of us dropped nuts to how big an empty festival hall really is, also Corey Taylor coming into our green room to introduce himself. Such a surreal moment" 📷: @jamesclarke.__
