As the frontman for I Can Lick Any Sonafabitch in the House, Michael Dean Damron spent the first half of this decade cutting his teeth on the finer points of delivering sermon-like epithets and exposing his own personal demons that has resulted not only in an impressive body of work but the art of telling, for better or worse. After 4 albums he pulled the plug on Sonafabitch and starts Thee Loyal Bastards include Allen Hunter (Eels) on bass, Sam Henry (Wipers) on drums and Morgan Greer on guitar. With songs that tip their hats at his heroes (Steve Earle, Alejandro Escovedo, Townes van Zandt), Bad Days Ahead is an avalanche of brash truths and dark stories set to his own Americana landscape...Food for fans of Kevn Kinney, Brent Best, Drive By Truckers, Bottle Rockets....
