Bongo Boy Records and E-Grapes Promotion are proud to announce the release of "Already Been Chewed (A Return to Bubblegum)" the new EP by American rock and roll band The NEW Bardots.

"Already Been Chewed (A Return to Bubblegum)" is a tribute to this magical era and features 3 remakes of bubblegum hits ("Yummy Yummy Yummy", "Simon Says" and "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'"), a reissued cover of Robert Hazard's "Change Reaction" and two original songs ("Sweet as Honey" and "Wake Up and Smell the Coffee").

The story of the members of The NEW Bardots is incredibly interesting. Formed in 2018 by Gar Francis and Wayne Olivieri. Gar Francis, lead guitarist and songwriter of The Doughboys, former session guitarist of Billy Idol and more recently co-writer and co-producer of Mark Lindsay's (Paul Revere and the Raiders) album "Life out loud" (Bongo Boy Records 2013). The NEW Bardots is a quintet filled with a piece of NYC and New Jersey's rock history. Gar and Wayne, in particular, had played - together and separately - in some of the most important rock clubs of the world such as CBGB's, Max's Kansas City, China Club and The Stone Pony playing with absolute legends such as Jon Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen (to name just a couple) and sharing the bill with legends such as The Ramones, The Talking Heads, Blondie and Cindy Lauper.
