Bass Drum of Death is an American garage punk band originally from Oxford, Mississippi, but now based out of New York City. The band was founded by lead vocalist and guitarist John Barrett.

Known for their raw and energetic sound, Bass Drum of Death has been making waves in the music scene since their formation. With a blend of garage rock and punk influences, their music captivates audiences with its catchy hooks and high-energy performances.

Originally hailing from Oxford, Mississippi, the band has now found a new home in the bustling music scene of New York City. Led by frontman John Barrett, Bass Drum of Death continues to push boundaries with their unique sound and relentless passion for creating music that resonates with fans around the world.

The hill country of north Mississippi is legendary, almost mythical, for the music the region has produced. We're talking Junior Kimbrough, R.L. Burnside, The Hill Tops, Blue Mountain, North Mississippi Allstars and numerous others. But there is a new movement brewing in the hills as well. Bands such as Colour Revolt, The Black and Whites and John Barrett's Bass Drum Of Death (jbbdd) are about to rock and we salute them. 

John Barrett is a visionary, as jbbdd is a one-man band with a huge sound. equal parts hasil adkins, junior kimbrough, jon spencer and all parts john barrett, jbbdd does thing the old fashioned way: guitar, vocals and kick drum. barrett has one-upped the black keys and the white stripes by stripping his blues-garage rock band down to a single member. or is that one-downed? either way, in barrett's case, the rudimentary percussion complements his rawboned songs. he sings and plays grimy blues licks along with whatever percussion he can bang out with maracas, tambourines, handclaps and, of course, his bass drum. his songs are just as fast, loose and sloppy as his tales of death and general bad-assery deserve.
