History

The project was initially started by The Hotelier ex-guitarist Scott Ayotte as a solo project in 2009. Eventually, guitarist Jonathan Brucato and bassist Jim Creighton would join the band, forming Born Without Bones. In 2010, they released their debut album Say Hello, which has been described as a predominantly pop-punk album. [6] In 2013, the band released their second album, Baby, which was described as "Born Without Bones' most intimate album", and in 2017 their third album Young at the Bend. [7] Much to frontman Ayotte's regret, the band did not gain much popularity and success in the beginning, with Ayotte even considering quitting. However, to the band's surprise, music streams started skyrocketing in 2021, which motivated the band to start working on their fourth album, Dancer, which was released in 2022. [4]
