Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons

He played with a war machine, his angry, distorted guitar unleashing itself in rhythm and ecstasy to the sound of Lemmy Kilmister's voice. What else can you want when you have, like Phil Campbell, the iconic Motörhead guitarist, already known everything? What else can you want when you've already seen thousands of fans hanging on to your riffs? What else can you want when you've already become a guitar hero?

More simplicity perhaps? To free yourself from the weight of an audience that's waiting for you forever at the top? Still, the dissolution of Motörhead marks for the guitarist as much an end as a beginning. As soon as the page has been turned, he is already thinking of putting both fingers back in the socket to electrify his audience. Accompanied this time by his three sons and singer Neil Starr. A family business that had already existed for a few years under the name Phil Campbell's All Starr Band. And which this time takes on a name that sounds like the big fucks they drop in their clips: Phil Campbell and the Bastards Sons.

In the lyrics, it sounds like Motörhead, but you can quickly sense that this new band is not a copy of the previous one. We find the bass humming and the drums hammered like an indestructible anvil. But fortunately, it seems that youth doesn't leave all the reins to its daron. For their albums also smell of southern blues, harmonica, catchy chords. The "bastards" Campbell led by Starr don't let themselves be led and give the band another boost, which sounds like a wild rock cocktail. Those who always make you want to stomp your feet, jump in rhythm or swing your long hair back and forth!
