COMING SOON on VINYL and CD : Beauty Pageant
Recorded at Dreamland Studios (a literal converted church) in 2017, this long-out-of-print record is now back in print on both vinyl and, for the first time, CD formats. The Bobby Lees’ “Beauty Pageant” overflows with the kind of raw punk energy you can only bottle once—when you’re young enough to play every chord like it might be your last.
“A Woodstock, New York garage rock quartet with sex, sweat, and lightning bolts of electricity surging through their collective veins.” - POPMATTERS
“Primal, rural, feral, rock’n’roll.” - LOUDER THAN WAR
“Storming to the scene with a howling sense of rebellion and nonconformity.” - ALTERNATIVE PRESS
The Bobby Lees Skin Suit album is wild and different. I dug it immediately. The razor sharp and experienced Jon Spencer was the perfect producer to bring the songs to their full disruptive potential. Dangerous music is good for you. – HENRY ROLLINS
The Bobby Lees’ SKIN SUIT is oozing with sex, sweat, and joyful abandon. It’s a raucous ride from beginning to end. Cover to cover, this thing’s got you by the short hairs. – POPMATTERS
Quartin is the star and a light that you can’t seem to blink out, but the whole band is a well-oiled and furious blues-punk machine. – HIT MUSIC
The Bobby Lees are a rambunctious, sometimes ramshackle, reminder of what rock and roll is all about. – PENNYBLACK MUSIC
The Bobby Lees are a very young band from Woodstock NY and they play the garage punk blues with real fire and wild animal energy like they can hardly stop themselves. – ECHOES AND DUST
How many bands have you heard lately that can get away with desecrating “I’m a Man” and sound credible? It’s all in Quartin’s leering vocal and Casa’s muscular guitar. – I-94 BAR
Fronted by Sam Quartin, whose vocal charisma channels some of the preposterous intensity of the Alan Vega/Cave/Cramps lineage, the band's second album is an explosion of intensity of high-concept, low-budget rock'n'roll. – UNCUT
The band show they’ve got the chops and the weirdness to refresh vintage rock, punk, and blues without the commercialism that has plagued other prominent garage bands of their generation. – CHICAGO READER
Wild, snotty, and carefree. – SHINDIG!
There’s the certainty of Punk, the immediacy of Garage, the anger of those who don’t care here, ‘Move‘ is a one and a half minute snarl, but even when they show some musical chops, as on the percussive ‘Coin‘, there’s the itchiness of a freshly grown scab. – STEVE SWIFT'S ROCK REMEDY
The Bobby Lees are the giant green cyclops of rock ‘n’ roll. – BTRtoday
A breathless experience with few down tempo pauses. – The DELI NYC
GUTTERMILK : Storming to the scene with a howling sense of rebellion and nonconformity, the band’s full-fledged garage-punk sound in this song is deftly executed with raw and raucous energy. – ALTERNATIVE PRESS
GuttterMilk' is 94 seconds of feral garage punk, centered around a rumbling and propulsive baseline, thundering drumming, buzzing and slashing guitars and Quartin’s howled vocals that nods at Fever to Tell-era Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Jon Spencer‘s work with The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. – THE JOY OF VIOLENT MOVEMENT
