The Black Cat Bones Return with Powerful New Single Honouring Late Frontman, Featuring Onset Music Group
Two years after the devastating loss of their iconic frontman Kobus de Kock Jnr, South African rock legends The Black Cat Bones return with a powerful new single, Something That You Said, (Just Music) marking one of the most personal and emotionally charged releases in the band’s storied career.
The track, written by longtime bandmate Gareth Wilson, serves as both tribute and eulogy — a raw, soul-baring homage to a friend, a brother, and the unmistakable voice that helped shape the band’s identity. With moving lyrics and a soundscape steeped in honesty and heartache, the song is a cathartic reflection on grief, memory, and the enduring weight of loss.
In a poignant collaboration, “Something That You Said” features the incredible talents of Onset Music Group whose soulful instrumentation and stirring production add an additional layer of depth to an already emotionally charged track.
“This isn’t just a song,” says Wilson. “It’s a farewell, a love letter, and hopefully, a light for others walking through the same darkness. Kobus was larger than life — his passion, his madness, his magic — and this track is a celebration of all of that.”
Beyond the personal, the song speaks to a universal truth: the pain of watching someone you love fade under the weight of depression. With its haunting melodies and vulnerable lyricism, “Something That You Said” seeks to bring comfort and closure to all who have been touched by such a loss. A Heartfelt Tribute to a Fallen Brother
