Masterminded by former Ponys frontman Jered Gummere, indie/garage rock group Bare Mutants were formed in Chicago with backup vocalist Jeanine O'Toole (the 1900s), bassist Seth Bohn (Mannequin Men), organist Leslie Deckard, and drummer Matt Holland. Their debut album, The Affliction, was recorded at Engine Studios with producer Sanford Parker and released on In the Red Records in the summer of 2013. ~ Jason Lymangrover
