Bosh were an English Christian rock band based in Bournemouth, England. The band formed in 1996 around brothers David and Michael Griffiths. Bosh are noted as one of bands that started the Nth Degree Community and Risen Records in the early 2000s.[1]
Bosh released four CDs on Risen Records, the EP VII in 2005, and the live album Middle of Somewhere in 2007. Sound the Alarms was released in 2008 produced by a team that included Steve Ennever and Paul Burton. The Gloaming Hour EP was released in 2009.[2] They were also a regular feature in the Christian music scene in the UK, playing at Nth Fest, Creation Fest, Greenbelt festival, Grace Festivals, and the Big Church Day Out Festival. They also played outside the Christian music scene and opened for bands such as Frightened Rabbit.
The band's final line-up consisted of David Griffiths, Mike Griffiths, Steve Coates, James Grant, and touring keys player Dave Evans.
