Here we go, here we go.... Not to fast, not too slow. It's not tagged as hardcore, it's dadcore. It's Pat Pedraza (vocals), Matt Kash (guitar), John Crerar (drums) and Craig Kasamis (bass). It's a band that makes hardcore punk tunes by dads, about dads that can be enjoyed by everyone. It's Dad Brains. Not to be mistaken with any other similiarly monikered bands from Washington DC, this lot are from Oxnard, California and they probably don't care much if some punk purists disapprove of their flippancy.
Unsurprisingly, all 4 members of the band are fathers and they've been together since last October. Vocalist Pedraza was previously drummer with No Motiv and alt rock band From Satellite. They're aiming to release a new record every Father's Day, the first came out in June and it's a Self Titled 5 track ep with cover art you might just recognise. It'll be available on various coloured vinyl via Pirates Press Records on Sept 14th (http://shop.piratespressrecords.com/products/627051-dad-brains-self-titled-7) and you can check it out digitally here : https://dadbrains.bandcamp.com/
This is the video they recently released. I'll be playing the song on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show (at 8pm UK time today so most of you will probably have missed it and have to catch up when it goes on Mixcloud early next week) : https://www.facebook.com/events/537102566743740/. If you're still young enough that you know how to access a chatroom you can listen to the show and join in the craic at the same time, if not you might find much to sympathise with in the song, this is I'm Old...
