Those Poor Bastards are an American gothic country doom band based in Madison, Wisconsin, USA and play miserable and primitive old-time gothic country music. Since 2004 they have released eleven full-length studio albums, six EPs and have toured extensively in both North America and Europe. They are frequently critical of commercial mainstream country music, and play a style that derives more from gothic rock, cowpunk, traditional Americana and doom metal. Their lyrics focus on themes of sin, damnation, misery, religion and death.
The band is composed of Lonesome Wyatt (Vocals, Guitar) and The Minister (Banjo, Bass, Percussion, Backing Vocals). They are secretive and reveal very little information publicly about themselves except for the fact that both are legally certified holiness preachers. The Minister veils his face in all official band photography, does not perform live and has not revealed his public identity. For live performances, Wyatt performs with another musician, Vincent Presley, on Drums and Keyboard.
If you’re looking for slick, over-produced, commercial songs, you’d better cover your delicate little ears. Those Poor Bastards play it raw and they play it mean.
"Those Poor Bastards own a unique sound that only touches the edges of traditional roots music, a sound that repeatedly smashes the molds that have shaped country and blues for nearly a hundred years. It’s a sound that was decidedly born too late, for it seems to long for a time its creators never knew, a simpler, more primitive time. Rather than commit itself entirely to the time in which we presently live, their sound finds itself treading through the stinking gutter of a Depression era alleyway, only to sit amongst other lost souls, all of them sitting around a mighty fire burning in the guts of a metal waste container. They proceed to pick up guitars, banjos, fiddles, buckets for percussion, and various other instruments, some homemade, some not, and play song after song as if their very lives depended upon it. And throughout the night it evolves into a sound as dark as a winter night, as sharp as a rattler's fang, as vicious as a meth lab guard dog, as bizarre as a pack of sideshow carnies, and as full of fire and brimstone as an evangelical preacher of the South's sweaty Bible Belt." — No Depression
"Those Poor Bastards are the best Gothic Country I have heard yet to this day. The depressing gloomy vocals coming out of this drifter named Lonesome Wyatt has hints of Marilyn Manson to Nick Cave, Throwrag and maybe even a hint of a demented Adam Ant with a shot of a pilled up Johnny Cash… And the Minister is backing up Lonesome Wyatt with a style that is a cross between eerie strung out folk music with a creepy blend of The Nightmare Before Christmas!!!!!!!!!" - Hank III
