“I am never gonna mind my mouth,” grunts The Reverend Rob Barrett, front-man for San Francisco Bay Area’s, Damn Handsome & the Birthday Suits. Reverend Rob’s sentiment symbolizes the foundation of this group’s lyrical and overall message, which the band lays down loud and clear on their NEW LP Decapitate the people for the Government, revealing a musical narrative that undoubtedly takes listeners to the frontline of today’s social and political climate.
With a line-up comprised of a former jazz saxophonist, a software engineer, and a platinum Album selling musician, one might think Damn Handsome & the Birthday Suits’ forte would lie outside of the typically stripped-down sound connected with the punk-rock genre; however, the band specializes in just that – their debut singles, “Incredibles,” “Days,” and “Tooth Decay,” bring back what Tommy Ramone appropriately called “no bull-shit rock and roll.” With their LP back from Berkeley’s legendary Fantasy Studios, Damn Handsome & the Birthday Suits is well on its way to bringing the underground rock scene back from nearly forty years ago.
Damn Handsome & the Birthday Suits’ debut LP, Decapitate the people for the Government, available via iTunes, is already generating buzz in the San Francisco Bay Area. Punk editor, Pete Hamm, of San Francisco’s own music publication Caught in the Carousel, describes the debut LP well, revealing the group’s “biting satirical sarcasm to social and political issues.
