The Bud Gang ♫
Johnny Manchild
and the poor bastards
An American multi-genre ensemble founded by Johnny Manchild. Since its founding in 2016, the band took the internet by storm, with a unique conundrum of jazz idioms, alt-rock, world music, and funk.
From their hometown of Oklahoma City to the global stage, each release has been marked discovery not just for the fans, but the Poor Bastards themselves. With 28+ million streams, 4 albums, 300 shows, numerous singles, and a fifth album on the way, Johnny Manchild has carved a path internationally, pulling together a community of rabidly dedicated fans that grows larger everyday.
“There’s a mad genius living in Oklahoma City who possesses the manic drive of a classical composer. A creative tour de force who’s content with locking himself away in his studio to craft and curate his modern-day masterpieces with emo overtones.”
-WESTWORLD
”Before you question their name, please consider that Johny Manchild and The Poor Bastards are a gift to the next wave of alt-rock.”
