Pastor Bob & The American Taliban, fronted by Brian Nickpat, emerged as a one-man-band on the east coast circa 2017. Mixing comedy and folk punk, Brian offers his audience an answer to the age old question, “What if Bo Burnham listened to Green Day and ate out of the trash?” With lyrical topics ranging from geopolitics to an unconventional lust for Jesus Christ, PB&TAT’s debut album King of the Ooze is scheduled for release on April 20th, 2025.
