BPMD - American Made (LP)

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 release. ItÆs evident within the initial seconds of BPMDÆs American Made, as the legendary Bobby Blitz (Overkill) chants the introductory lyrics to Ted NugentÆs ôWang Dang Sweet Poontangö in his signature skyscraper-high howl, that he and his equally iconic bandmates ù drummer Mike Portnoy (The Winery Dogs, Sons of Apollo), bassist Mark Menghi (Metal Allegiance) and guitarist Phil Demmel (Vio-lence, ex-Machine Head) ù are here to have a damn good time. Featuring 10 unforgettable rock classics reimagined as heavy bangers, American Made is a party on wax. Tracks such as the raucous ôToys in the Atticö (Aerosmith) and rager-ready ôBeer Drinkers & Hell Raisersö (ZZ Top) prove that BPMD not only manages to capture the essence of each original track on the album, but skillfully transforms each classic into an unforgettable metallic anthem for a new age. The seasoned quartet flex their musical muscles on renowned classics such as ôSaturday Night Specialö (Lynyrd Skynyrd), ôWeÆre an American Bandö (Grand Funk) and ôWalk Awayö (James Gang), and introduce a whole new heavy generation to deeper cuts like blues standard ôEvilö and ôNever In My Lifeö (Mountain). Channeling nostalgia while maintaining a fresh attitude, American Made is a summer soundtrack for all ages!
