Phil Campbell’s All Starr Band was first founded by Campbell as a side project during the final years of Motörhead. At Wacken Open Air 2016, the band decided to take things a step further and unveiled their new name, Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons. A few months later, an EP with the same name was published. With the help of a great deal of goodwill, a few Motörhead covers, and a few brand-new songs that blazed with swagger and passion, Phil Campbell And The Bastard Sons, led by one of the most renowned guitarists in the genre, and completed by his sons Todd, Tyla, and Dane, made their touring debut in 2017.
The Bastard Sons made an immediate impression after securing a prominent support slot for Guns N’ Roses’ 2017 summer stadium run. This modest rock and roll business had grown into a very significant entity by the time the band’s debut album, “The Age Of Absurdity,” was released in January 2018. The album received overwhelmingly positive reviews and won “Best Debut Album” at the 2018 Metal Hammer Germany awards. The second album, which guitarist Todd Campbell recorded and engineered under lockdown two years later, was just what people needed. With Top 40 national chart entries in four countries, “We’re The Bastards” was bigger, better, and even more raucously inspiring than its predecessor.
