discography:

Belgian Rawk n’ Roll band Fat Bastard has released album ‘Barely Dressed‘.
“Although the album was recorded in late 2023, we didn’t mind waiting until 2025 to release it upon the masses. As 2025 celebrates 50 Years of Motörhead, we knew we wanted to wait as our song ‘Mr. Rock’ is a tribute to the life of Lemmy, ‘We are the (over)Killers’ is a song that resonates with the Motörhead discography and ‘Tiger Queen’ is a love poem like we feel Lemmy would have written it.”
Earlier on in 2025 the band had released the singles ‘Never Told Me Her Name‘ and ‘Kill My Soul‘.
‘Never Told Me Her Name‘ is a standout in their album ‘Barely Dressed‘, blending their signature rock ‘n’ roll sound with fresh Mexicana influences.
The song tells the captivating story of a wild night with a beautiful girl, only for the protagonist to wake up and find her gone, without ever learning her name.
The song’s narrative is both intriguing and relatable, capturing the fleeting nature of some encounters and the lingering mystery they leave behind.
Fat Bastard has incorporated Mexicana influences into their sound, creating an unique fusion that adds a new dimension to their music.
The addition of trumpets, played by Bert O’Hara from the Belgian band The O’Hara’s, brings a vibrant and lively element to the track…
‘Never Told Me Her Name‘ showcases their versatility and willingness to experiment, pushing the boundaries of their sound while staying true to their roots.
Fat Bastard explains:
“The song was originally titled ‘Hole in the Wall’, about building a wall between the US and Mexico during the first Trump reign (yes, that long ago). When preproducing our records in 2023, he was ‘long gone’ from the oval office, so we decided to change the lyrics. Now, the release will practically coincide with the start of Donald II…”
‘Kill my Soul‘ is Fat Bastard’s most personal and impactful single to date.
This powerful track delves into the deeply personal experiences of one of the band members.
‘Kill my Soul‘ stands out not only for its raw and emotional lyrics but also for its mission to bring attention to a critical issue that affects countless children worldwide.
The song’s lyrics are a poignant reflection of the childhood experiences of one of the Bastards, making it a deeply personal and heartfelt creation.
‘Kill my Soul‘ embraces a raw and darker feel, capturing the intense emotions and gravity of its subject matter.
Additionally, the song features a few musically wrong or misplaced elements, intentionally left off-center to further enhance the dark atmosphere of the raw sides of our so-called picture-perfect society.
According to official records, there were over 10,000 reported cases of child abuse in Belgium alone.
However, the band believes that this number is just the tip of the iceberg, as many more cases go unreported and unnoticed.
Through their music and advocacy, Fat Bastard aims to give a voice to the voiceless and inspire change.
For the release of ‘Kill my Soul’, Fat Bastard has also produced a lyrics video that incorporates vital information on child abuse and how to recognize and respond to it.
The band hopes that this initiative will help raise awareness and encourage more people to be vigilant for sign of this pervasive issue.
