The Bobby Lees, fresh off of an extensive European tour that included the Woodstock, N.Y-based band’s first stint in the UK, wowing audiences and critics alike (“screaming feedback, howling vocals, and a thumping beat suggest that rock’n’roll is still very much alive” – The Arts Desk), the Sam Quartin-led quartet announce the Oct. 7 release of their Ipecac Recordings/Liberator Music’ debut album, Bellevue. Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry, Henry Rollins…these are just a few of the punk icons who have shown support for Woodstock, NY based band The Bobby Lees. Sam Quartin [vocals, guitar], Macky Bowman [drums], Nick Casa [guitar], and Kendall Wind [bass] — make music that is punk in spirit and soul; unfettered and resolutely honest. To say their sound is wild and untethered is an understatement. It's the kind of aural exorcism any listener can tap into, something that struck a chord with Henry Rollins who brought them to Ipecac Recordings where Mike Patton and Greg Werckman signed them.
The new album is produced by Vance Powell (Jack White, Bleached, Raconteurs). Their last album, Skin Suit, was produced by the legendary Jon Spencer
