Born Shit Stirrers - Richard Gere

  


  Born Shit Stirrers (https://www.facebook.com/bornshitstirrers) are from Fukuoka, Japan and they're rather bloody good. They line up with Jon (guitar/vocals), Roque (vocals), Lum (guitar/vocals), Watt (bass) & Jun (drums) and they featured on here last April with an excellent track called Bored Of Education (justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2020/04/born-shit-stirrers-bored-of-education.html) which deservedly earned a place in the annual Just Some Punk Songs end of year chart (it'd have been much higher if it had been longer than 25 seconds!). 

  It was just one of a number of modern day classics that graced their most recent album, Lester (22 tracks in 23 minutes and just the tip of the iceberg of cool releases by the band since they formed in 2016) https://bornshitstirrers.bandcamp.com/





  They've been collaborating with Kumamoto (Japan) band Ledzepvietcong (https://onionskin.bandcamp.com/) on a split 7" 9 track ep titled Overworked Underfucked which is due out in July on top UK label Serial Bowl Records. I was fortunate enough to be sent the songs earlier this week and I can safely predict that fans are gonna love them. They've just released a teaser track (https://serialbowlrecords.bandcamp.com/track/richard-gere) which I'm posting below and I've been ok'd to play a different song on the Just Some Punk Songs show later today (https://www.facebook.com/events/533449181567888). 

  It's in your face, couldn't give a fuck punk rock at it's best by 2 kindred spirit bands. This track boasts a couple of "big name" guest appearances with Mike Watt (Minutemen) on bass and Reverend Norb (Boris The Sprinkler) adding backing vocals. It's a cover of a song by an unknown band called The Bumblebees and it's called Richard Gere...
