Bass Drum of Death

Frontman John Barrett formed Bass Drum of Death in 2008 as a one-man band, playing both his bass drum and guitar. The band's newest release, “Too Cold to Hold” / “Wait” 7-inch, released on Muscle Beach Records, marks the first new music from the group since 2018’s Just Business, and for the first time, it features Barrett collaborating with his younger brother, Jim. The pair started writing songs in Brooklyn in early 2020 and finished recording in Oxford, Mississippi during the COVID-19 lockdown. A full-length album on Fat Possum Records is on the way.
