Aug 9, 2013A new punk classic.
-
Jun 25, 2013Although GB City was powerful in its own way, the self-titled displays an impressive attention to detail that helps bring out some of the sound that was lacking in the group’s early work.
-
Jul 8, 2013Sure, this is a great garage rock record--but it’s dreaming even bigger.
-
Jun 25, 2013While Bass Drum Of Death is stripped back and wins many points for commitment to a certain aesthetic, it’s also a largely successful album in terms of tunes.

Jun 25, 2013While GB City felt fast and dirty like a fleeting glance with a stranger, Bass Drum of Death is a fully realized one night stand.

Jun 25, 2013His self-titled effort amounts to little more than the sound of him treading water; it’s every bit as fun and energetic as GB City, and the chaotic live shows aren’t likely to see a change of pace any time soon, but there’s practically nothing in the way of progression here, either.
