Bonemen of Barumba emerged from Chicago’s vibrant underground scene in the early 1980s, blending post-punk, industrial, and experimental sounds into a raw, rhythmic pulse. Known for their innovative use of percussion, found sounds, and confrontational energy, the group became a distinctive presence in the Midwest alternative circuit. Their music, released through labels like Fever Records and Feverhouse, captured the restless creativity of the era, influencing later industrial and avant-garde acts while remaining a cult favorite among collectors and fans of boundary-pushing music.
