The Bobby Lees – Bellevue (White Vinyl)

The Bobby Lees aren’t a household name, but they’re probably every punk rock icon’s new favourite band. Henry Rollins himself called their music “dangerous” while talking about their raucous 2020 album, Skin Suit. Iggy Pop has given them plenty of love on his radio show. Juliette Lewis is raving about them. It’s all for good reason. 

Bellevue is an album for the “rock is dead” doomsayer who doesn’t believe there’s any hope for the genre. When in fact, The Bobby Lee’s are traveling the world, playing every night, not showering, sleeping in the van—all to get people like that to quit their whining, or at least just to quit listening to the radio. Rock n’ roll isn’t dead, it’s just in darker corners than we care to look. Its growing and evolving into something more untethered than we’re used to.
