Hey Bastard!-Medusa album review.

To start off, the name of this band always make me chuckle!

Since Flabbergaster's last posting on Hey, Bastard! back in August of 2011, the "In your face raw factor" has not subsided one bit. Nor have their agressive drums and energtic power strumming-interrupted by an unpredictable breakdown. The guys have just returned from the studio with their latest release, "Medusa," produced by Joel Lauver (Haste the Day, Job for a Cowboy) at Burning Bridge Recordings. Joel also happens to be their vocalist.

I really don't know what category to what genre category to put these guys in(raw, dirty party metal, maybe?), but I can tell you that their music shines in the live aspect, as it thrusts itself toward thier audience, and then vice versa! Their vocals are very confrontational along with their menacing guitar work and fast drums.

Hey, Bastard! is very confident in their style and uncompromising in their delivery. Medusa is dramatic, harsh, and aggressive. It is not easy listening and demands a response. Instead, it is a fresh burst of raw, unrelenting, chaos. It makes me want to go in the kitchen and break all my dishes, or engage in some mad road rage. You can stream tracks off of Medusa and even pre-order now by clicking the link below. Enjoy. Be careful.
