Fat Bastard releases Barely Dressed
Fat Bastard, a high-energy rock band, was formed in 2007. The current lineup features four passionate musicians: Jorn (vocals), Kurt (drums), Geller (bass), and Jan (guitar). The band's unique sound is often described as the raw power of Peter Pan Speedrock, with a splash of Motörhead's rebellious spirit and a dash of Carl Perkins' rockabilly charm.
Fat Bastard's music is defined by its relentless energy, commanding vocals, and electrifying guitar riffs. Their sound seamlessly blends the raw power of rock 'n' roll, the rebellious spirit of punk, and the intensity of heavy metal. Drawing inspiration from old school rock legends, Fat Bastard crafts a dynamic and versatile musical style that resonates with a wide range of listeners.
Fat Bastard has received praise from various music critics and publications. Luminous Dash highlighted their impressive use of the Swamp Stage at Alcatraz 2022. Musika.be commended their high-energy performance at Frietrock 2022 and their ability to win over crowds quickly at Devils Rock for an Angel 2018. MusicZine.be appreciated their combination of humor and powerful sound at Frietrock 2018. Mindview.be recognized their high-level performance at Distortion Fest 2011, suggesting they deserved a spot on the main stage.
In 2013, the band released their first EP album, Feel the Pain, produced, mixed and mastered by Martin Furia (Bark/Destruction/Furia). This album showcased their punk/metal side, capturing the raw emotion and intensity of their live performances. Critics praised the album for its powerful sound and the band's ability to convey their balls to the wall attitude through their music.
Five years later, in 2018, Fat Bastard released EP Junk Yard Fest. This album showcased their musical evolution, to a more raw rock (yeah, Rawk n’ Roll) based sound. This album was produced by Yannick from Hexa Mera. The album received rave reviews for its raw energy and the band's signature blend of humor and powerful sound. One reviewer noted that the album brought "an array of raw delights for body and soul," highlighting the band's ability to connect with their audience on a visceral level.
Fat Bastard's perfectionist tendencies mean that they take their time to create music, but the end result is always worth the wait. Their albums are a testament to their commitment to delivering high-quality, impactful music that leaves a lasting impression on their listeners.
