The Bastards

Gritty, theatrical rock fueled by anxiety and isolation. Raspy vocals meet polished, maximalist production for a modern take on the glam-punk outsider anthem.

It's like a high-fashion panic attack set to the best rock hooks you've heard all year.

A high-drama collision of internal anxiety and outward defiance, wrapped in a dark, theatrical aesthetic.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition from the haunting piano intro to the explosive, gritty chorus of Tonight Is the Night I Die.

The raw, stripped-back vulnerability of the vocal delivery on Lonely that feels uncomfortably close to the mic.

The aggressive, driving drum beat and social frustration fueling the bridge of Massacre, the New American Dream.
