Bastard - spitting at Hell’s Angels and taking to the stage in a coffin

You’d be forgiven for not knowing who British proto-punk band Bastard are (or were). For a brief time Brian James (later of The Damned), Alan Ward and Nobby Goff (later both forming Elton Motello) and Dez Lover were the UK’s answer to The Stooges and MC5. Loud, aggressive and in-your-face, the band were known for playing biker bars in the UK and Belgium. More than 50 years have passed and we finally have a single from the band, the wonderful “Doctor Gong”, released last month on Wap Shoo Wap Records.
