Bosh was a Christian rock ensemble originating from Bournemouth, England, established in 1996 by siblings David and Michael Griffiths. The group was instrumental in the formation of the Nth Degree Community and the launch of Risen Records during the early 2000s.
Under Risen Records, they produced four recordings: the EP VII (2005), the live album Middle of Somewhere (2007), Sound the Alarms (2008) which was produced by Steve Ennever and Paul Burton, and the EP The Gloaming Hour (2009). Bosh held a significant presence within the UK’s Christian music circuit, appearing at festivals such as Nth Fest, Creation Fest, Greenbelt Festival, Grace Festivals, and Big Church Day Out Festival. Their reach extended beyond this scene by supporting mainstream artists like Frightened Rabbit as an opening act.
The band's last roster included David Griffiths, Mike Griffiths, Steve Coates, James Grant, along with touring keyboardist Dave Evans. Prior to this, Grant Howard and Matt Gainsford exited the band in 2010 to explore career paths in Canada and the United States respectively.
In 2011, Bosh announced an indefinite break to concentrate on other ventures, culminating their activity with a farewell performance on 2 September 2011 in Bournemouth. Following this, David Griffiths initiated Chaos Curb Collaboration, featuring several ex-members and secured distribution through Joining the Dots in 2012. He also released a solo project in 2016 that involved participation from former band colleagues.
