Bad Sam - Trauma (2025) Hi-Res

Third album from these South Wales punk rock'n'roll legends. Newport's Bad Sam are former Cowboy Killers Dean Beddis singing and Dub War bassist Richard Glover on guitars and programming. It's punk rock for 2025 combining the garage hardcore spirit of bands like Reagan Youth with the electronic punk of LARD. Lyrically, the album is a punch bowl of sardonic swings at humanities darker side and capitalist exploitation. From death tourism (Popcorn and Blood) to societal peer pressure (Perpetual Consumption)… Much in the vein of Jello Biafra’s “Kill The Poor” school of lyric writing, stones are not only turned but lobbed at you with cynical intent.
