We chatted with Eric Becker and Marty Buckenmeyer of Stunt Drummer and they told us how they cleverly got their name and their formation post-Covid. We also talked about their recent release “Warm Up, Tiger the band’s most feral, focused, and experimental release yet! We had some good laughs and such a great conversation these guys. 

The band is made up of Marty Buckenmeyer (guitar/vocals), Erik Becker (guitar/vocals), Ethan Schee (bass), and J Leaver (drums). 

 Stunt Drummer thrive on collaboration and collision. Songs rarely arrive finished - instead they’re mashed together from riffs, mistakes, and half-ideas until something clicks. As the band puts it, the best moments come when things probably shouldn’t work, but somehow do.   

Stunt Drummer aren't interested in fitting neatly anywhere. Their ideal setting? "A medium-sized, dimly lit bar with cheap drinks and free Narcan, in front of the restroom door." With Warm Up, Tiger, they deliver a record that’s loud, memorable, disorienting, and deeply alive - best experienced with the volume up and expectations off.
