The world needs wild, scruffy, unwashed youths who don’t care about bullshit. The kind who throw themselves and their gear into a transit van and survive the roadways of America, huffing from gig to gig with nary much more than a pot to piss in.
Most importantly, the world needs these youths to make music that is weighted in lead whilst carrying a cracking riff, propelled by feral sledgehammer drums, an overall Sabbath-meets-COC air, and a total disregard for convention within that framework. The world (that includes you) needs Bastardane.
Their music carries the weight of classic heavy riff traditions while refusing to stay obedient to them.

QUOTES
“I love the surgically precise grunge of it. It’s where TAD, Mudhoney, and Soundgarden should have gone.”
- Maynard James Keenan
“Bastardane has infectious rock and roll familiarity through the lens of youthful exuberance.”
- Kyle Ray of No Cure
“It sounds phenomenal. It’s deep. It’s heavy. It even sounds spiritual in its own way.”
- Sammy Hagar
“...Furious, stacked fire… a sweaty, heaving riff train through some dank swamp waters.”
- Steffan Chirazi

Bastardane’s most recent album, Catatonic Symphony, was released May 31, 2024
“‘Catatonic Symphony’ with its dreamy etherealism taking an angry launch into furious, stacked fire. ‘Grand Slam’ starts by heaving with slow, majestic weight and heft, before the hammers get furiously hurled, ‘The New Sanity’ is a tripping vortex of Bastardane through a kaleidoscope before it moves into the deep south and takes residence, while ‘Slow Decay’ carries a sweaty, heaving riff train through some dank swamp waters. As for ‘Lose My Brain’ oh how sweet a sub-Sabbath stomp it is, and ‘You Know That You Die’ is this band’s autobiography, their seething, bristling, chopped and savagely fucked up twinkle-toed dance into scary places and spaces.”
- Steffan Chirazi
Bastardane’s Debut album, Is This Rage?, was released March 12, 2022
