Houston power trio Bärdo hustles up an all original repetoire of high energy music variously described as “Anger Pop” and “Zeppunk.”  Complex, snaking arrangements, accomplished technique and eclectic song writing create fresh, engaging dynamics which engender a ’70’s Punk and Rock flavor, plus.  An ever-evolving fusion, a group that does not fall in love with its own riffs- lyrically acerbic and often seedy, the band gorges itself on tongue-in-cheek social critique. 

   Signing a secret treaty in early 2023 at an undisclosed Northline industrial location, the new outfit’s lineup blends the academically-trained talent and prolific creativity of bassist Josh Stewart with the long seasoned, self-taught tradition of singer/guitarist Frank Whitley, and the artisanal drumming of Phil “Bonham” King. Stewart has single- handedly written and self-recorded nine full length albums.  While Whitley has been banging his head against the wall since the ‘80s Punk scene of the Northeast U.S., cutting his teeth at clubs such as Brick and Wood, The Anthrax, and ABC No Rio.  King only just recently graduated from assailing pots and pans to a real drum set, yet locks the tracks down with a well studied homage.  Entailing three complete sets of original music right out of the gate, and as many generations of musicians, they write songs individually and collaboratively. Currently playing the Gulf Coast, Bärdo plans its first release, “The Trilogy” for September, ’23.
