As Fat Bastard continues to evolve and experiment with their music, “Never Told Me Her Name” marks an exciting chapter in their musical journey. This single is a perfect example of their creative prowess and willingness to take risks.

Fat Bastard explains:

‘The song was originally titled “Hole in the Wall”, about building a wall between the US and Mexico during the first Trump reign (yes, that long ago). When preproducing our records in 2023, he was “long gone” from the oval office, so we decided to change the lyrics. Now, the release will practically coincide with the start of Donald II…’.

Although the album was recorded in late 2023, we didn’t mind waiting until 2025 to release it upon the masses. As 2025 celebrates 50 Years of Motörhead, they knew they wanted to wait as our song Mr. Rock is a tribute to the life of Lemmy, We are the (over)Killers is a song that resonates with the Motörhead discography and Tiger Queen is a love poem like they feel Lemmy would have written it.

Stay tuned for more news on the release of the upcoming album ‘Barely Dressed’, planned for a release on April 25, 2025.

Releaseshows: April 25, 2025 (Hell Diest w/ Speed Queen) and May 10, 2025 (Barock Bruges w/ Speedmobile).
