Austin hardcore group BAND OF BASTARDS have released two new, ragging punk tracks “Division” and “Can’t Ya Crawl” from their upcoming, highly volatile debut album, DELETE. REPEAT., that’s out July 23rd from Redacted Records/SilverDoor Music.
Commenting on the meaning behind "Division," guitarist Andrew Leeper says:
"The divide these days is real and everybody feels it. Don’t know how it gets better but turning off the TV sure as shit couldn’t hurt."
He adds about "Can't Ya Crawl":
"Writing an album during lockdown felt like we were always waiting for the next shoe to drop. Each news cycle was more dire than the one before. There was something weird in the air that felt like it was all spinning out of control. At some point you gotta embrace the chaos, step into the unknown and hope for the best."
