Track from the album: GB City, released April 12, 2011
“Bass Drum of Death, from Oxford, Miss., is John Barrett’s baby — he writes the songs, sings the fantastically sleazy and compact lyrics (“I got a velvet itch in my jeans,” he taunts. “How can you scratch it?”) and plays the fantastically sleazy and compact guitar riffs. The songs on “GB City” (Inflated), this band’s debut album, are surly and mischievous, a pungent, effective collision of garage-rock bashing and Ramones sneer.” - New York Times
