Proudly outspoken and riotously loud, The Bobby Lees are Ipecac Recordings' newest signing.After teasing music this past Summer and touring the UK for the first time last month, th e band announce their brand new full-length album, Bellevue, thirteen tracks of uninhibited rock and roll arriving on 7th October. Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, Henry Rollins…these are just a few of the punk icons who have shown support for Woodstock, NY based band The Bobby Lees. Sam Quartin [vocals, guitar], Macky Bowman [drums], Nick Casa [guitar], and Kendall Wind [bass] — make music that is punk in spirit and soul; unfettered and resolutely honest. To say their sound is wild and untethered is an understatement. It's the kind of aural exorcism any listener can tap into, something that struck a chord with Henry Rollins who brought them to Ipecac Recordings where Mike Patton and Greg Werckman signed them.The Bobby Lees initially made waves with full length albums Beauty Pageant [2018] and Skin Suit[2020]—which was produced by Jon Spencer. They then decamped to Sputnik Sound in Nashville to record Bellevue, their debut Ipecac album – live in the studio - with producer Vance Powell [Jack White, Chris Stapleton, The Raconteurs].As feverish and nihilistic as the music can at times seem, there’s always a glimmer of hope at the core of each song. “I named the album Bellevue because when I listen back, I hear someone going through that stuff, who is now able to laugh about it and have fun re-telling the stories,” says Sam. “It’s a reminder for me that the most painful and intense things I go through end up being the most rewarding creatively.” Released: October 2022Cat: IPC260Label: Ipecac Listen Tracklist Show more
