Where Is My Mind?: Bandname

In February, a freak car accident put Bandname frontman Jeremy Jams out of commission, and in a back brace for three months. Jams and the rest of the North Philly trio – consisting of 24-year-old Cat Park (bass/vocals), 27-year-old Jams (guitar/vocals), and 28-year-old Greg Labold (drums) – hung up their performer caps, formed a stronger bond of friendship, sharpened an already-tight sound, and focused on writing and recording their next record. What resulted from that is Bandname’s debut full-length, Breakfast – a fierce garage-torched pop tart that sways and slams like nobody’s business (it will be available on vinyl via North Carolina’s Self-Aware Records as well as on CD via Soft City Records and on cassette via UK’s Eat a Book Records). To celebrate its release this weekend, the band will hold a FREE album release party at The EL Bar this Saturday that’s sure to make some mouths salivate – dubbed “BYOB = Bring Your Own Breakfast”, fans who dress like or bring breakfast foods will receive a limited piece of artwork from a band member. The Deli had a chance to talk with the gang about their full-length debut, why cassettes are classic, and their favorite breakfast dishes. You can check it out here.
