WA Outfit Rag N Bone Change Name To End Ongoing Mix-ups With UK Artist

Staff Writer

Say hello to New Talk!

More New Talk New Talk

It can be hard to carve a path in the music industry when an artist with a similar name is launched into stardom, which is why Perth rockers Rag N Bone have unveiled a new name.

Citing the rise of UK songwriter Rag N Bone Man, the Perth act will now perform under the name New Talk to avoid “misdirected Facebook messages” and “baffling playlist additions”.

With a solid list of accomplishments and debut album already out, New Talk are adamant that their message and path will remain the same.

Catch them live at The Bird on April 21; all the info of which you can find in theGuide.
