Petrol Bastard

Petrol Bastard is a Leeds-based electronic punk group, described as a two-piece sweary techno-punk outfit. The act also performs live as a three-piece with a female DJ, and sometimes adds a troupe of dancers for shows.

Style and performance

The group plays hard, fast, aggressive music with snarling vocals and explicit lyrics. Its live reputation centres on high-energy stage shows. The act fits punk, metal, and rave or dance events, and its performances are aimed at adult audiences.

Activity and collaborations

Petrol Bastard performs on the live circuit and plays shows around the country. It has supported Kunt & The Gang, XP8, and UK Subs.

Releases and online material

The group offers a free album download titled Jihad Trombone, and has circulated video and live footage online.

Additional notes

The act uses the tagline “Sweary Northern techno-punk” and presents itself as a rough, drunken version of The Prodigy.
