Video: Bass Drum Of Death, “Bad Reputation”


In the video for "Bad Reputation" — a sticky, blown-out jammer by Oxford, Mississippi's Bass Drum of Death — a very young-looking teen boy gets into some classic B-movie mischief: fast cars, cheap bourbon, street thugs, heaps of cocaine. He acts tough-as-nails, but he might just be lonely. We see him hire a prostitute basically just to be his friend, and when he gets a taste of his own reckless medicine at the end, you can't help but feeling a little bit sad. Bass Drum Of Death is out now on Innovative Leisure. Below, check the dates for their fall tour with LA-based songwriter Hanni El Khatib.
