The Red Bastards - Life's A Trap

    

    We're all fucked

    Shit ain't funny... 

  Mid Wales punk quartet The Red Bastards (https://www.facebook.com/Theredbastards) return today with a new single. It's a teaser for the band's next (as yet untitled) album which is pencilled in for release late summer.

  They previously featured on here a couple of years ago with a track from their debut S/T album  https://justsomepunksongs.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-red-bastards-kids-on-glue.html

  A very fine street punk tune about the vicious circle of life, it suggests the new album will be a definite winner. This is Life's A Trap... 

The Red Bastards - Kids On Glue

  

  "The Red Bastards are a no nonsense punk rock band from Mid Wales. If you like your music hard and in your face with no bullshit, this is for you!"

  Thus goes the intro on The Red Bastards' Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Theredbastards). It goes on to tell us how they were formed during the pandemic and how their influences include the likes of The Misfits and Black Flag. They're a quartet (Niff, Cynrig, Matt & Harold) and their name and inspiration comes from a famous bunch of highwaymen who used to terrorise mid Wales.

  Their opening salvo came last year in the form of a Self Titled ep (https://theredbastards.bandcamp.com/album/the-red-bastards-ep) and they'll be back in the studio next weekend to finish off recording a debut album. 

  They've recently released a video for one of the tracks that'll feature on it, it's a tale of growing up on a diet of Evo Stik and Special Brew. It's called Kids On Glue...
