Top 5 Feature: LameAssDads

LameAssDads (L.A.D.) is a pop-punk band from Toledo, Ohio whose members are, well… lame ass dads!

The band was formed in early 2021 when two friends, Ryan and Andy, decided they still had some gas in the tank for songwriting and creating. Now in their 40’s with real jobs, families, and responsibilities, they realized they still needed an outlet to get their adult angst out.

After writing and recording their debut album—Greetings From Nowhere, Ohio—they asked Tim, Dan, Joe and Benji to help them bring their songs to a live audience.

Inspired by artists such as Blink-182, Bad Religion, MxPx, and Descendents, they began collaborating together on their first collection of original songs.

Together, they tackle topics of long sleepless nights, the hard but rewarding job of parenting, loss of loved ones, falling in love, personal growth, and remembering the glory days that led them to where they are now.

They are currently taking an extended break from playing live to focus and finish writing their next album.
