U.S. BASTARDS Launch New Single ‘Scenester Deceiver’ with Music Video

Today, U.S. BASTARDS, spearheaded by Brent Purgason (ex-GWAR), proudly launch their new single, “Scenester Deceiver,” taken from their upcoming new album, ‘Negligent Discharge,’ set for release on June 19th. The new track arrives alongside an official no budget video, available below.

On the new track, Brent shares:

“This song is about coming up in a scene where you feel like an outsider no matter what you do or how many dues you’ve paid. I’m not the only one in Richmond who feels that way and I’m sure we’re not the only town that has a music scene with severe and unspoken gatekeeping problems. This is an anthem for the outcasts among the outcasts and for anyone that’s never going to be accepted by the cool kids crowd. You’re welcome in our gang, we are in this together.”

In a world full of pleasantries and kiss-assing, U.S. BASTARDS are neither. A four-piece hardcore punk criminal enterprise from Virginia, the band has re-formed after a chance meeting in county lockup. Brent and Robby knew the four members didn’t land in the same cell for no reason. It was fate calling them back to life on the road; back to sleepless trips, dungeon whips, gas station speed, and canned meat. Doug agreed fate was calling them back to teach the masses what a truly bad time could be. … and Brendan just happened to be in the room.

“I’ve been doing so much hard time lately, it’s time to be hard on the road.” – Brent

“…[two middle fingers]…” – Doug

Ran-when-parked, the outlaws took straight to the van to get the message out. After a ten-year hiatus, they have agreed to utilize their newfound freedom from the state to write harder, catchier, faster, harder-er, hell-raising songs glorifying their exploits and shine a light on the gatekeeping tendencies in the music scene that has never accepted them.

When the rest of the world goes quiet, the BASTARDS get loud and angry, blazing across the country with a wall of cranked Marshall stacks. This is the way punk rock should be: loud, unapologetic, pandering to no one, and having no qualms with being the bad guy.

U.S. BASTARDS new album ‘Negligent Discharge’ is set for release June 19th featuring bonus track covers of Judas Priest and Motorhead songs. 13 tracks of hard and fast music that kicks the door off its hinges. Best to listen with a shotgun in one and a 40oz duct taped to the other, these are anthems for the outcasts among the outcasts. Skip work! Give your neighbors kid a cig! This is full throttle, no brakes, speed-rocking crime metal. Full stacks and gun racks packed, these delinquents are coming to your town. Clutch your pearls! U.S. BASTARDS are back.
