Newfound Obsession

1:54:00 PM


While browsing tumblr, I discovered a band I cannot stop obsessing over. Bad Suns is a California based alternative rock band. The band consists of Cristo Bowman (vocals), Gavin Bennett (bass), Miles Morris (drums) and Ray Libby (guitar). The sound is inspired by 70's and 80's post-punk bands like The Cure and The Clash. When I first heard them, I thought they sounded like a mix between 5 Seconds of Summer and The 1975.

Bad Suns have an EP called Transpose and an album called Language and Perspective. The EP has some of my favorite songs of theirs which also happen to be their hit singles. Salt and Cardiac Arrest are two of my favorites as well as We Move Like the Ocean. This band is different from all the others. They care about their sound more than anything. Not that they're lacking physically. They all tend to wear dark colors which makes them seem quite mysterious and sexy. They're music videos are also very inspiring and artistic. The music video for Salt delves into the struggles of a transgender man. We Move Like the Ocean is a video inspired by the beaches of LA in the 80's. I love how this band isn't afraid to push their boundaries and this is why I think they will get big.

Their music makes me feel better no matter what time of day it is. It is the perfect mixture of up-tempo and relaxed beats. I haven't found a band that I love like I love this one in such a long time. I feel inspired by them and what they stand for. All I can say is that I can't wait to hear them live and hopefully they will come out with some new songs in the next few months. 

Hope you enjoyed reading and check out this sick band if you're in need of some new songs to add to your list.

Lots of love,

Meg
