One moment they’re rapping “Too fat to strip” and the next they’re singing “I can’t stand to see you hurting.” MTV dubbed them “spazzed out punk rap.” Call their unique sound what you want, their fans come to their live shows singing and cheering.

“Mixing the free-for-all fun of punk rock with the street sensibility of hip hop & sexy swagger of reggae, Bad Fathers bring an amusing, sarcastic and intelligent project.” URB Magazine

Bad Fathers versatile six piece joined forces in Iowa City 3 years ago. The mohawked cousins, Austin Galante and fittingly, Cousin, alternately sing and rap alongside the vibrant rhyming of Juan Hooks. Bassist Kyle Marxen, guitarist/engineer Jethro, and drummer Greg Moomey complete the group.

In 2005, The Bad Fathers released their second full-length album titled Angels in the Chamber. The album features the single “Bragging Rights” with Cee Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley fame. Angels in the Chamber also received contributions from Righteous Babe artist Brian Wolff, Southern Records’ William Elliott Whitmore, and hip hop producer Tack Fu. “Bragging Rights” was featured on Impose magazine’s summer sampler.

Known for their rambunctious partying and frequent nakedness, Bad Fathers have consistently toured the past two years including 21 dates on Warped Tour 05’. Their charisma, boyish charm, up tempo energy, and sense of humor are witnessed in their live show. Known to perform wearing nothing but loincloths Bad Fathers have shared the stage with Lil’ Jon, Slick Rick, Rahzel, Lost Prophets, Atmosphere, Gym Class Heroes, Cee Lo and numerous other fine talents.

Bad Fathers have been featured on Fuse Televisions’ “Tattoo Stories” and “Warped Tour Wrap Up ‘05”. The song “January” from their first LP, Go Poke A Hole In Yourself, was pressed on half a million discs for UPN’s Digital Lounge Series. The song, “Too Fat to Strip,” also featured on Go Poke A Hole In Yourself; charted on several college radio charts including Record Breakers, Rapattacklives.com and Insomniac.

The results of Bad Fathers hard work are showing. They’ve garnered a wide array of national media attention and have sold over 8,000 albums independently.

They recently recorded a song with Tre Hardson (from The Pharcyde). The untitled track will be featured on their summer 2007 release, tentatively titled Zip Thump.
