With Daniel Kirkpatrick And The Bayonets' debut, Alibis, singer-songwriter-guitarist Daniel Kirkpatrick has masterfully crafted an authentic album of prime modern-vintage rock 'n' roll. 'Calling the album Alibis stems from the fact that I looked for every reason to run away and not pursue this dream,' says the Washington-based artist. 'Music felt like an uphill battle because I hadn't found myself as a songwriter. With this record, I've finally conveyed what I needed to put forth.' The trio's debut is rife with emotionally direct lyrics, tightly-arranged classic songwriting in the mold of 1960s British and American rock 'n' roll, with expansive dynamics and sensual guitar solos.
