The Bobby Lees: Unleashing Punk Rock Chaos with "Skin Suit"

From the small town of Woodstock, NY, The Bobby Lees are tearing through the punk rock scene with their 2023 album, "Skin Suit". This band, fronted by the dynamic Sam Quartin, isn't just playing punk; they're living it, with an energy and attitude that harkens back to the genre's most chaotic and thrilling days.

"Skin Suit" is a thirteen-track onslaught of garage punk that feels like a direct hit to the senses. Produced by the legendary Jon Spencer, the album captures the wild, untamed spirit of punk rock. From the explosive opener "Move" to the raw, blues-infused "I'm A Man", each song is a testament to The Bobby Lees' commitment to the punk ethos - loud, fast, and full of life.

The album dives deep into the heart of punk with tracks like "Guttermilk" and "Riddle Daddy", where Quartin's vocals slice through the noise, embodying both the fury and the fun of punk. The guitar work by Nick Casa and the relentless rhythm section of Kendall Wind on bass and Macky Bowman on drums keep the energy at a fever pitch, ensuring that "Skin Suit" is an album that demands movement and rebellion.

What makes "Skin Suit" stand out isn't just its punk pedigree but its ability to weave in elements of blues and garage rock, creating a sound that's both nostalgic and forward-thinking. The cover art, with its punk aesthetic and raw energy, perfectly encapsulates the album's vibe, making it clear from the get-go what listeners are in for.

In an era where punk can sometimes feel repackaged or commercialized, The Bobby Lees bring back the raw, unfiltered essence of the genre. "Skin Suit" isn't just an album; it's a call to arms for those who believe in the power of punk to disrupt, to energize, and to unite. Whether you're new to punk or a seasoned headbanger, this album is a reminder of why punk rock will never die - because bands like The Bobby Lees keep its spirit alive and kicking.

Around 2014, I noticed rock music starting to sound cookie-cutter, over-polished, and pop-inspired, as if it had lost its soul and become corporate and profit-driven. That led me to seek out bands with a raw, authentic rock sound, which inspired the creation of Cowboy's Juke Joint Radio.
