Handsome Bastards

Handsome Bastards is both the band name and a statement of FACT. Featuring ex-members of Lincolnshire's SHURIKEN and East Midlands' BLACK JACK KETCHUM, they want to rip your ears off and fill the holes with ROCK N ROLL. 2012 might be the Year of the Bastard. Or maybe 2013. Influences vary wildly from Sonic Youth and Godflesh to A and Miocene, with a bit of Roxy Music and King Crimson thrown in for good measure, but it all combines into some sort of post-hardcore electrorock musical bomb, some how. It's glorious, whatever it is.
