about

“Here it is! The Bastards Live Forever. I can’t tell you how much work went into this collection of songs. I’d always been taught that if what you were working on wasn’t (what you thought) was your best… start over. Never put anything into the world that you were not absolutely sure of. That is what happened with this record. After Homesick/Roadsick, Tony and I worked on music but none of it felt inspired. We wrote and scrapped songs because none of it felt like it was any good.

The pandemic gave us the opportunity to really spend time on every song, our relationship as friends and songwriters. We’d keep our “bubble” and travel to each other’s homes to write and record music that really made our hearts pound. I’ve never been so proud and never put as much work into a body of music like we did for The Bastards. It’s a disparate collection of songs about divorce, shame, love and growth. “Roadsick/Roadsick” is a bridge between the last record and what we are moving towards as a band. I’m lucky to have shared this moment with Sean, Flip, Tony, & Pat on record. Meeting Cameron Webb, and him signing on as our producer only made things better. He is, in my opinion, the 5th Beatle. Without him, Bastards may have never come out… and if it did… it wouldn’t be nearly as special. Enjoy!” – Donald Spence
