About Bootyard Bandits

Bootyard Bandits are a five-strong band from the "Wild West of Worcester" in the UK, known for their unique blend of heavy, tongue-in-cheek country rock, sometimes described as country metal or heavy-country-sleaze-rock. Composed of Cool Joel Handsome, Joseph Bones, Bamm-Bamm McBammington, Two Puddings, and Little Mac, the band is celebrated for its distinctive humor, catchy, riff-laden tracks, and entertaining music videos, including their debut single "Hoedown Showdown" which featured a "hilariously gruesome" LEGO stop-motion video. Their past releases include the EP "The Very Best Of: Bootyard Bandits" in 2020, as well as singles like "Shirt Potatoes" and "Country Music," and an album "Songs For the Saddle Sore" in 2021. Most recently, Bootyard Bandits released the single "Jesse James Denver" in 2026, and on July 9, 2026, unveiled "Little Bit O' Country" as the second single from their highly anticipated second album, "Hellbound And Hammered". They also have tour dates scheduled for 2026 and 2027.
