Lars Frederiksen formed the band to record a number of songs that reflected his teenage years in Cambell, CA, and his gang the SKUNX. Thus all the songs on their first album are centred round these themes, as well as including a cover of Billy Bragg's "To have and to have not" and Motorhead's version of "Leaving here".
LarsFrederiksen And The Bastards ‘Viking’ is the 2nd solo
LarsFrederiksen and the bastards are amazing, this song is no different.
Lars and the bastards tell some great stories and are so raw and upfront, not to mention that the song rocks hard as hell, but else is expected when Lars has the guitar in his hand?
