For The Bobby Lees, their fourth album New Self, their first on Epitaph, marks an exciting new chapter while reinforcing what makes them so magnetic. The first two singles released by the group have already won people over and could be heard on France Inter, among other stations. The Bobby Lees hardly need an introduction anymore. It only takes a few seconds of their explosive concerts or their electric recordings to understand why they have won over legendary artists like Iggy Pop, Debbie Harry or Henry Rollins. Their sound, as uncompromising as it is generous in energy, follows in the footsteps of the punk pioneers of the 1970s. Led by singer and guitarist Sam Quartin, alongside drummer Macky Bowman and bassist Kendall Wind, the group injects a dose of wildness and danger back into punk rock. Throughout New Self, you can perceive a newfound confidence, both freer and more assertive, from the blazing Napoleon to their offbeat cover of 50ft Queenie by PJ Harvey. This is the sound of a band that, after going through unstable periods, comes back stronger than ever: more confident, more united, more intense, and fully self-assured.
