DANIEL KIRKPATRICK AND THE BAYONETS TO RELEASE ALBUM IN AUGUST<\/strong><\/p>\n


\n<\/strong><\/div>\n

Seattle, WA-based trio Daniel Kirkpatrick and The Bayonets is set to release its album, Alibis<\/em>, on August 20, 2013, via Rock Ridge Music (with distribution through ADA).\u00a0 \u201cCalling the album Alibis<\/em> stems from the fact that I looked for every reason to run away and not pursue this dream,\u201d says Kirkpatrick.\u00a0 \u201cMusic felt like an uphill battle because I hadn\u2019t found myself as a songwriter. With this record, I\u2019ve finally conveyed what I needed to put forth.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The trio\u2019s debut is an authentic album of prime modern-vintage rock, rife with emotionally direct lyrics, tightly-arranged classic songwriting in the mold of 1960s British and American rock \u2018n\u2019 roll, with expansive dynamics and sensual guitar solos. Kirkpatrick is an introspective writer artfully grounded with his wordcraft.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

A budding blues-inspired guitarist in high school, Kirkpatrick went on to explore abstract indie-pop, and after his indie band folded, he took a 9-to-5 job.\u00a0 \u201cI started thinking: \u2018If I was in a band again, I\u2019d do something like Roy Orbison or Elvis Costello,\u2019\u201d Kirkpatrick recalls. Thus began Daniel Kirkpatrick and The Bayonets.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The band features Kirkpatrick (vocals, guitar), Jordan Cassidy (bass, vocals), and Spencer Booth (drums, vocals). Both sidemen were former music associates handpicked to be Bayonets. Cassidy is from Kirkpatrick\u2019s indie band, and Booth has a storied history with Kirkpatrick. As a 13-year-old musical prodigy, Booth sat in with Kirkpatrick\u2019s high school classic rock band on keyboards, playing The Who\u2019s \u201cWon’t Get Fooled Again\u201d with a spirited elegance that belied his teenage years. But by the time Kirkpatrick tapped him to play drums for The Bayonets, Booth was recovering from a period of drug and alcohol abuse.\u00a0 The Bayonets became a shot at artistic redemption for Booth, and a second chance opportunity for Kirkpatrick in rediscovering his muse.<\/p>\n

Daniel Kirkpatrick and The Bayonets are planning a listening party on August 17, 2013, at Fred\u2019s Wildlife Refuge in Seattle, WA, and live shows are also being set in support of the forthcoming album, with the following dates already confirmed:<\/p>\n
