Soon after returning from the west, the band played to a crowd of 35,000 at the annual WBCN/High Times Magazine sponsored MASSCANN/NORML Freedom Rally on the Boston Common. DJ Deek from WBCN had this to say, "Bonescrew, I could easily dub one of the more visual and aggressive shows I've seen in a long, long, time."
Throughout 2003 Bonescrew has traveled the North East region and is currently planning for a 2004 US Tour. With the recent success of their new album, "Ask for Nothing", Bonescrew has gained many articles, interviews, and reviews in some of the hottest publications found around the Boston and New England area, such as The Noise, Soundcheck, The Alternative News, Decibel Magazine, and many more.
