DeBaser reviews present Beasts of Bourbon as an Australian supergroup of raw, swampy blues and garage rock. Their records mix punk energy, dark humor and country/blues roots. Recent coverage frames Still Here as a defiant, elegiac celebration after the loss of members. Classic early albums (The Axeman's Jazz, Sour Mash) remain touchstones.

For:Fans of raw, blues-inflected rock, garage/punk-blues and Australian pub rock.
