Bass Drum of Death tours with Japandroids, UMO, and Toro Y Moi

CATCH BASS DRUM OF DEATH ON TOUR WITH JAPANDROIDS RIGHT NOW
 
FALL TOUR WITH TORO Y MOI AND UNKNOWN MORTAL ORCHESTRA COMING SOON

DEBUT LP "GB CITY" OUT NOW ON FAT POSSUM  

Bass Drum of Death is a two piece band from Mississippi composed of John Barrett on guitar / vocals and Colin Sneed on drums.  Together they make blown-out, blazing songs.  Their debut LP is out now on Fat Possum Records.  He wrote and recorded the whole record himself using drums, a guitar, a USB microphone, and a computer before teaching Sneed to play drums for the live show and beyond.  The songs are about drugs, religious girls, panic attacks, mild to severe depression, Elvis appearing in your dreams and giving you advice, gravity bongs, and the devil living inside your brain.

 As summer starts wrapping itself up right now, Bass Drum of Death is hitting the road again bringing a dose of the things we love about summer -- long nights, adolescent debauchery and rock and roll -- to a city near you.  The band is on the road with Japandroids right now, tearing through cuts from spring's GB City, and won't stop until they've hit nearly every major US city by mid-October.  At the end of September, they'll link up with Toro Y Moi and Unknown Mortal Orchestra for one of the best fall tours that the West Coast and South will see this year.
