Influences include Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, The Clash, Afghan Whigs, The Replacements, Lift to Experience, Charles Bukowski and John Fante - from whom they take their name and with whom they share a love of drink, women and good literature."Blisteringly powerful garage rockers, born from the ashes of should-a-beens Fake Ideal and reminiscent of the Afghan Whigs or local legends Groop Dogdrill" James Jam NME.www.nme.com/newmusic/i-am-bandini
