Being in an independent punk rock band can be fun, but it can also be hard work without a guaranteed reward, and the Bobby Lees got to know that better than they hoped while on the road in support of 2022s Bellevue. Long stretches of low-budget touring and recording albums without recouping their expenses put enormous stress on the group, and founder and leader Sam Quartin was beginning to buckle mentally and physically under the strain; the Bobby Lees went on hiatus in 2023. Fortunately, they had a fan who was willing to help and also happened to be rich and famous -- actor Jason Momoa, who featured the band on his HBO series On the Roam, and offered to finance their next album. 2026s New Self reflects the pain and frustration in the years leading up to its release, as Quartins lyrics capture the hard work of trying to be heard; songs like "Give," "Napoleon," "The End," and "Got Me Good" all speak eloquently about the struggles that come with being an artist without a bankroll living a hardscrabble life. But these songs also find Quartin writing and singing with impressive power and force, and this is some of the best work shes released to date. When she wants to concentrate on that old rock & roll standard, lust, "Red Hot" and the title track are wild, physical fun that show she hasnt forgotten how to have a good time. New Self also benefits from the production skills of Dave Sardy and Alex Pasco, who usually work with big names like the Foo Fighters, Beck, Paul McCartney, and the Rolling Stones. Sardy and Pasco thankfully dont try to reign in the band, and theyve given them a powerful, full-bodied sound that flatters the dynamics of Quartins voice and guitar and gives Kendall Winds bass and Macky Bowmans drums the richness they deserve. As a result, this is the tightest and most satisfying-sounding LP the Bobby Lees have delivered so far. If the album has a flaw, its its brevity -- it contains a mere eight songs, one of which is a cover of PJ Harveys "50 Foot Queenie," and it plays more like an EP than an album. Considering how good this music is, one cant help but wish there was more of it, but thats the only serious complaint that can be levied against New Self, which shows the Bobby Lees have come through a difficult time stronger than ever. ~ Mark Deming
