Little Bastard are a country punk band with fiddles, banjo, mandolin and you name it they play it. These heroes kicked it off in 2012 and have one long player on their roll of honor the self-titled Little Bastard (2014). From that stroke of genius came Be My Kind a slice of Australian straight from the gut story-telling matched with musical heaven that inherits the throne vacated by Paul Kelly and Hunter and Collectors.


“It’s just a matter of time,
Before I feel you wrapped in my bones”
