Bad Suns

Though only about a year-old, Southern Californian band, Bad Suns have already seen a positive response from the beginning. Their current lead single is the catchy "Cardiac Arrest" and it is certainly more than just another alternative indie song. It can be found on the band's upcoming EP Transpose, available January 21st.

The EPs influences are apparent with angst-ridden riffs and ethereal yet charismatic vocals that pay tribute to post-punk legends of the early 80's. Comprised of four tracks, Transpose flows effortlessly from start to finish showcasing the band's stadium ready anthems and undeniably catchy hooks. The EP was recorded in the studio with producer Eric Palmquist (The Mars Volta, Wavves, Trash Talk) and serves as a prelude to the band's debut full-length slated for later this year.

Bad Suns lead singer, Christo explains, "I started writing my first songs at that time. Though we can now reflect on that era of music, those artists were ahead of their time in a lot of ways. That's what's most inspiring."

Formed in 2012, Bad Suns is made up of Christo Bowman (vocals), Gavin Bennett (bass), Miles Morris (drums) and Ray Libby (guitar). The four piece group ranges from ages 19-22 yet they have a sound reminiscent of rock stalwarts from generations past. Aside from writing a record, Bad Suns' 2013 was a busy one, complete with multiple CMJ showcases as well as sharing the stage with the likes of The 1975 and Vaccines with no signs of slowing down any time soon.
