The Wanton Bishops is a Lebanese rock band formed in Beirut, Lebanon in 2011. The group consists of Nader Mansour (vocals, guitar, harmonica, keyboards) and Eddy Ghossein (guitar, backing vocals, banjo). The duo began as an independent act founded after Mansour and Ghossein met outside a bar in Beirut. The Wanton Bishops was eventually formed and emerged among a second wave of popular garage rock revival. After signing with talent promoters Keeward, the group released its debut EP, Bad Rhyme (2012), which was recorded in Beirut.
