"Damn good sound..played this bands tune a short while back and it is still ringing in my ears" 17th April 2011 - Twitter
The night ended triumphantly with 14 piece rock and roll burlesque gypsy voodoo jazz from Rattlin Bone, complete with deranged clowns. Soulful backing singers, a jazz band and the raspy rocker vocals of the lead singer demonstrated the band’s ability to transcend the boundaries of musical genre and create a sound uniquely theirs. The band’s cover of Merle Travis’ Sixteen Tons was a crowd pleaser, keeping the audience on their feet after a night of heavily-involved shape-throwing. - London Evening Standard
English blues band; think Tom Waits and razor blades…brilliant!!! - PunkshahXc
The London-based collective plays brassy blues and dark alt ditties… - London Evening Standard
"We are cool enough to be graced with the musical stylings of Rattlin’ Bone as our Track of the Week. Fabulous horns and a dark, smoky voice dominate this track, Speaking Of Happiness." - The Justin Wayne Show
"…these guys sound like Tom Waits went to Hell and formed a voodoo band!!! Fantastic." - Scarewaves
