Bunch of Bastards (BoB) like to think they drink from the same source of inspiration as their heroes Pogues, Flogging Molly, Mahones and Dropkick Murphys. BoB pay respect to their heroes by playing one song from each of them. BoB also pick the odd song from the big book of traditional folk songs, though oftentimes not without spicing things. But foremost, BoB add their self-penned stuff to the ever expanding catalogue of songs out there that can be described as energetically melodic or melodically energetic.
BoB songs deal with the downsides of life − remorse, illness, death, war and the arbitrariness of it all − as well as with life’s upsides − the blessings of love, music and alcoholic beverages. Either way, as their songs point out, “the pogo never stops” and “there is many a good reason to drink many a good pint”!.

In 2012 begonnen deze Haarlemmers deze coverband. Het bevlogen zestal gooide inmiddels al hoge ogen bij de Clash Of The Coverbands.

Nummers van The Rolling Stones, Neil Young en veel, heel veel andere helden uit de muziekgeschiedenis vormen het rijke rock-repertoire van de groep. Zanger Michel 'Skinny' van der Veldt, bassist Alwin 'Count' Louisa, drummer Patrick 'Sticks' Tiggeloven, gitaristen Martijn 'Jimmy D' van Dijk en Marcel 'Track' Spoor, toetsenist Sander 'Saint' Sudmeier en geluidstechnicus Rob van het Nederend doen het allemaal uit pure liefde voor muziek. Plezier is altijd al de insteek geweest en dat merk je! Alle nummers zijn klassiekers en de lol die het zestal uitstraalt is onweerstaanbaar!

Eerlijke bar-rock-nummers, dat is wat Call me Joe brengt.

Soms oud, soms splinternieuw, stuk voor stuk zijn het tijdloze nummers die je het typische Saturday-night-out-in-the-town-gevoel geven. Nummers die blijven kleven als honing en een glimlach op je gezicht toveren. Tot het tijd is om te dansen. Mee te zingen en de nacht écht te beginnen!

Formed in 2007 by founders Don (Vocals) and Martin (Rhythm Guitar), the two friends set out to form a band to make music with originality and a heavy guitar driven edge to it. Joining the band shortly after was Mike (Drums). After a 3 year hiatus, delays due to location and line-up changes, the band reformed in 2012, bringing Mark (Bass) into the line-up and later in 2013 Tom (Lead Guitar) to complete the group. In November 2013 the band released their debut EP 'We Started a Fire' and September 2015 saw the release of the bands second EP, 'Destroyed but Not Defeated'.
