Badflower

The Los Angeles-bred and now Nashville-based Badflower features Josh Katz (lead singer,guitarist), Joey Morrow (lead guitar, backing vocals), Alex Espiritu (bass), and Anthony Sonetti (drums). Their 2021 second full-length offering "This Is How The World Ends" came out last September. “It’s hopefully more than just brutal honesty,” said Katz. “To me, it’s sassy, uncomfortable, funny, clever, and sad. It wasn’t a casual process. It’s all in, so I’m all in. I don’t stop. I don’t quit. I cry a lot. I neglect everything else. There was no reason to set an alarm and wake up in the morning. There was no reason to do anything but make the best album possible. That’s what we did.”

After forming in Los Angeles during 2014, they dropped two EPs before they released their 2019 full-length debut "OK, I’M SICK." The single “Ghost” vaulted to No. 1 at Rock Radio and earned a GOLD-certification from the RIAA. They’ve also gathered over 100 million streams and counting.Meanwhile, one-off singles “30” and “F*ck The World” reached Top 5 and Top 10 at Rock Radio, respectively. Before the Global Pandemic happened in 2020, the band had begun writing ideas for what would eventually become their upcoming LP "This Is How The World Ends."

The band and their “extended family” of crew and friends, eventually left L.A. and moved to Nashville. “We’d wanted to rescue animals and live on a farm forever,” admits Josh. “Once we got settled, I built a little studio in a barn where I sleep and we finished the record.” 

They released the first single from their latest album, “Don’t Hate Me”, last Fall and Katz says, “It’s a lot of self-awareness. On the bridge, there’s a meta dialogue where I explain how I’ve changed my entire life and my appearance.” Now they've just released the new single "Family", the followup to "Don't Hate Me" from the "This Is How The World Ends" album, and will be embarking on a tour starting April 1st in Chattanooga, TN.
