BRANT BJORK RELEASES ‘PUNK ROCK GUILT’ ALBUM MAY 13th on DINE ALONE RECORDS

Founding member of Kyuss and drummer of Fu Manchu, Brant Bjork has returned with his sixth solo release to date. Tomorrow, May 13th marks the release of ‘Punk Rock Guilt’ – a 100% analog recording and a clear expression of a no-bullshit rock record. An independent artist with no shame and a keen sense of humor, Brant took the term “punk rock guilt” and simply let it represent his personal rock-n-roll freedom. “This record is the shit…and it was worth the wait…for me and you.”

Recorded and produced by long time friend, Dave Raphael, both agreed that the sonic direction of the recording should be full-on rock. The session began with a hand full of riffs, an arsenal of premium tequilas and whiskies, as well as other creative condiments.

‘Punk Rock Guilt’ features Brant in classic session style – performing all instrumentation on the spot and arranging 90% of the songs while in the studio. Upon mastering the recording, the highly respected engineer, Dave Collins, expressed that the record sounded like it was recorded in 1971. For both Brant and Dave, mission accomplished!

As a philosophy, artistically and otherwise, Brant Bjork has always stayed true to his punk rock roots as the corner stone of his creative energy. “To do your own thing, your own way, for your own reasons.”
