A Grape Dope - Backyard Bangers - solo project of Tortoise drummer John Herndon

"This record is a collage of sounds - found and recorded in various places and in various ways and then glued together with some rhythm, some space, melody, harmony and noise. I hope it reads like a slice of my record collection: hip hop, punk, disco, jazz, metal, noise, house, techno, comedy, etc." - John Herndon

All songs written and recorded by John Herndon except “Nod to the Peanuts” and “A Glorious Day” written by John Herndon and Travis Millard Vocals on “Nod to the Peanuts” and “A Glorious Day” by Travis Millard
