Edit history

The Bastard Sons Of Liberty are a Canberra based punk band formed in mid 2005 and are a 5 piece band that play in your face, aggressive Punk Rock. We endeavour to bring a diverse range of influences to the band, ranging from the Proto Punk of The Stooges and The MC5, through the classic seventies and eighties English, Australian and American Punk, as well as taking influences from Rockabilly, Psychobilly, Reggae and Ska along the way as well as today’s Metal and Hardcore/Post Hardcore. The Bastard Sons are united in their contempt for sanitised, radio-friendly Pop Punk bands that seem to dominate the scene these days. Their aim is to inject some anger and bollocks back into Punk Rock. The band espouses no particular political views or ideology in the traditional punk sense of ‘this is who we are!’ But rather we try to tackle issues in our lyrics from a realistic ‘boots on the ground’ type perspective. We have a wide and varied experience, with members playing in bands such as Rat

We are here because you need us to be here. We exist because you need us to exist. We play loud, angry music because you are tired of soft, quiet denialism. We grab your throat and shake you awake because you have been asleep far too long. We give you a message to love and a meaning to hate. We are the target of your new found aggression. We are the Bastard Sons of Liberty, and we're going nowhere
