Newport’s Bad Sam are bit like Sleaford Mods, but if Jason Williamson had spent the 80’s and early 90’s rolling about beer soaked Punk Rock stages and community center floors, and Andrew Fearn was a prolific bass player having toured the world gig circuit as part of the mighty Dub War. OK, nothing like Sleaford Mods then! Bad Sam formed in 2012 and have released two albums, 2014’s Working Class Holocaust and 2017’s Bring Me The Head Of…, both of which sold out their first press run. Their new album, Trauma, will be released on November 28th via Property Of The Lost Records which shows a physically, but not sonically, reduced membership of vocalist Dean Beddis (Cowboy Killers) and Richard Glover (The Abs / Dub War).

This isn’t “more of the same”, Bad Sam have side stepped their Hardcore Punk sound and adopted a snotty off kilter Garage Rock approach mixed with live drum samples, this all adds to the spirit of the new sound, imagine the energy of Reagan Youth mixed with the power of LARD. Lyrically, the album is a punch bowl of sardonic swings at humanities darker side and capitalist exploitation. Their new single, Popcorn & Blood, is a glimpse into a dystopian future that brings back public executions and a whole industry of entertainment and souvenirs built around them.
