BAD FATHERS’ NEWEST ALBUM PAIRS PUNK/RAP WITH FREQUENT NAKEDNESS

“Our fans love our album, Angels In The Chamber, so we wanted to build from that and create an album that sounded more like our stage performance,” says Austin Galante, vocalist and one of the producers for Bad Fathers. Complimenting their punk/rap, alternative sound are their unique costume choices, which MTV gave kudos to when they created buzz on Vans’ Warped Tour by donning loincloths during their pulse-pounding shows.
Sex Defender uses catchy pop, punk-rock and hip-hop combined with humor, lust, and some occasional insight. The album is the latest in the band’s evolving sonic landscapes, evoking diverse imagery from the dusty American southwest, the rural south, the era of doo-wop, hedonistic heavy metal, and the grandness of California lifestyle.
