The BONEZ is a prominent Japanese 'mixture rock' supergroup formed in 2012 by Jesse (RIZE) alongside members of Pay money To my Pain. The band emerged from Jesse's 'Stand Up!'
project, a creative initiative born in the wake of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake to foster community and spontaneous musical creation. Their sound identity is a sophisticated evolution of the rap-rock and nu-metal movements, stripping away the angst of the early 2000s in favor of a more empowering, community-driven punk aesthetic. Critically, they are lauded for their technical proficiency, particularly the groove-heavy rhythm section of T$UYO$HI and ZAX, which provides a foundation for Jesse's versatile vocal range. They occupy a central position in the Japanese alternative scene, bridging the gap between underground hardcore and mainstream rock festivals. Their influence is felt in the 'loud rock' subgenre in Japan, emphasizing live performance energy and cross-genre experimentation.
