THE BASTARDS
" Scheming In The Backroom "
( Self - released ) 2008.
CD-R
Rock/crossover - HONG KONG


The Bastards are "veterans" from Hong Kong, formed back in 1990 year. During the years, they have received a specific status on homeland scene, as same as in the some parts of South East Asia. A first album " Welcome To The Royal", a band has recorded in 1996, and actuelle one looks the light of day, a some months ago. The Bastards are faithful to generally rock option and rock views, nearer to psychology of 70's period. But, its performing option also communicate with many other genre's variations, as a garage rock, 60's rock and many things in-between. Their sound also posses one raw approach evident equally in performing as same as in vocal threathenings. A production also isn' t "polite" and producer Rob Porter mostly has threathed its sound closest to so call garage variants. Finally, The Bastards did a lotta' effort that all things funkcionize acording to its musical visions, and they haven't too much reasons for dissatisfaction.

Rating : 7/10
