Aussie punks Bodyjar have announced their return with the first new album in over a decade. New Rituals will release 20 July on People of Punk Rock Records. The album can be pre-ordered on Bandcamp.
To tie a bow on the album announcement, the band is gifting fans the lead single, “Big Shot.” Give it a listen below.
Bad Dad (occasionally called Ed) has been on the periphery of the punk and punk-adjacent scene for over twenty years. While many contributors to this site have musical experience and talent, Ed’s musical claim to fame comes from his time in arguably the most punk rock Blockbuster Video district in NJ where he worked alongside members of Blanks 77, Best Hit TV and Brian Fallon. He is more than just an awful father to his 2 daughters, he is also a dreadful husband, a subpar writer, a terrible dresser and has a severe deficiency in all things talent… but hey, at least he’s self-aware, amirite?
