Bellevue (Vinyl)
The new album from the New York punk rockers, produced by Vance Powell (Jack White, Chris Stapleton).
Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, Henry Rollins… these are just a few of the punk icons who have shown support for the Woodstock, N.Y. 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. It’s the kind of aural exorcism any listener can tap into, something that struck a chord with Rollins who brought them to Ipecac Recordings.
With their intelligent and thoughtful songwriting, The Bobby Lees follow their instincts as musicians and friends, working together to create the songs that would eventually form Bellevue. The sound is gritty, minimalist and visceral, each song is an ode to the misfits. “We wrote it while all of this crazy (pandemic) stuff was going on and I think it helped make us more open and vulnerable. We’re taking risks and doing weirder things musically than we have in the past.’
Black LP, 140g, single sleeve with insert.
