BAD FATHERS: Sex Defender
"Who could have imagined that the next potential ground-breaking sound would come from Iowa of all places?" -- Insomniac Magazine

"In the tradition of the notorious Iggy Pop, Axl Rose, and Tommy Lee; comes hip hop’s own bad boys: Bad Fathers." --Black Beat Magazine

"Discomforting oddity of the day award goes to Iowa’s own Bad Fathers." --The Boston Herald

"… then you have lunatics in loin cloths calling themselves Bad Fathers playing spazzed out punk rap tunes..." --MTV

"The Bad Fathers posit themselves as Iowa City’s live hip-hop bad-boys: imposing mohawks, endless consumption of beer, and a hit-and-run strategy with the fairer sex. But in reality they go much deeper than cartoonish caricature. This pensive track (Kith Me On the Lisp) showcases their ability to reflect beneath the surface. It also reminds us that hip-hop tracks recorded by live bands can be just as killer as programmed beats. Think: the Roots caught in a decadent Midwestern adolescence. This song is my soundtrack for 2007." --Cokemachine Glow

"This album is well done, features a wide variety of sounds, from dub, to new-wave, to punk, and wraps it up in a tight cocoon of hip-hop party vibes." --Punk TV

   About Bad Fathers (323) 767-8298 Call us!!
Bad Fathers are an American rock band formed in Iowa City, Iowa, in 2002. The band consists of vocalists Juan Hooks, Austin Galante, and Justin Alan Cox, guitarist Jeff Ryon, bassist Miah Handley and drummer Ryan Turi. The stylistically diverse band has been described by MTV as "Spazzed out Punk Rap."

"The Bad Fathers posit themselves as Iowa City's live hip-hop bad-boys: imposing mohawks, endless consumption of beer, and a hit-and-run strategy with the fairer sex. But in reality they go much deeper than cartoonish caricature. This pensive track (Kith Me On the Lisp) showcases their ability to reflect beneath the surface..This song is my soundtrack for 2007." --Cokemachine Glow

The band has released two full length albums, Go Poke a Hole in Yourself (2004), Angels in the Chamber (2005), and a 12' vinyl Swallow for Iowa (2003). Angels. has received much critical acclaim and achieved commercial success during Warped Tour '05. URB magazine's review of Angels said, "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." The album features the song "Bragging Rights", a collaboration with Grammy Award winning vocalist Cee Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley fame.

"This album is well done, features a wide variety of sounds, from dub, to new-wave, to punk, and wraps it up in a tight cocoon of hip-hop party vibes." --Punk TV



Bad Fathers have appeared on Fuse Televisions' "Tattoo Stories" and on Fuse's "Warped Tour Wrap Up". The song, "Guess What Daddy Wants," is featured in the 2008 MGM film, "College." The song "January" was pressed on half a million discs for UPN's Digital Lounge Series. Another single, "Too Fat to Strip," charted on numerous college radio charts including Record Breakers, Rapattacklives.com, and Insomniac. "Hurting," is featured in Ronnie Romero's latest wakeboarding movie UPDOG.

"Discomforting oddity of the day award goes to Iowa's own Bad Fathers." --The Boston Herald

Bad Fathers are currently in post production for the much anticipated new album, Sex Defender. A video for the single "I Care Less About the Bitches" is available for viewing on Youtube and on the band's myspace.
