Founded in 2018 by drummer Kole Myers and guitarist Justin Hembree, Hag Bastard is the full rock and roll experience. Citing influences from heavy metal to southern rock, blues to hip hop, and country filled to brim with punk rock spirit. With the addition of bassist Ragnar, guitarist David May, and lead singer Perm Hag really hit their stride by 2020. With the addition of third guitarist Michael Anderson in 2023 they became a monstrous force in rock and roll. Their 2023 self titled EP is available for free on Bandcamp and is just the wall of sound you’ve been looking for. They have been described as “the funnest band in the world”. Let the guitar heavy, harmonica laiden adventure of Hag Bastard carry you through the wild hills of Tennessee.
“A distressing mashup of bare-bones sludge riffs, blast beats, and early American hardcore sentimentality, Blunt Mansion is a filthy foothills mutt with an excessively loud bark and a heavy bite. A collaborative effort from the great minds that brought you a bunch of heavy bands you’ve probably never heard of, you’re sure to remember this one, if only for the ringing in your ears the next morning. The finest in Appalachian stoner violence.”
