Bastard|| Watch
BASTARD is from East L.A.—born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley. They are a force to be reckoned with—deflecting bullets with the power of rock. The sound is a mix of influences from kids who stayed true to their punk and metal roots, reminiscent of early Motorhead with a little bit of the Stooges mixed in.
