BADFLOWER UNLEASHES REIMAGINED NEW SINGLE “ANIMAL”


 

MAJOR LABEL DEBUT TEMPER EP

FOR JOHN VARVATOS RECORDS

& REPUBLIC RECORDS TO ARRIVE SOON

 ANNOUNCE TOUR DATES WITH BILLY TALENT

 

Los Angeles rock ‘n’ roll upstarts Badflower uncage their new single “Animal” at all digital retailers today through John Varvatos Records/Republic Records. Get it HERE.
 
With claws and teeth bared, the song stands out as a ferocious anthem sharpened by grunge-y guitars and a cathartic vocal wail. About the song, legendary fashion designer and label founder John Varvatos exclaims, “These guys are the real deal. They write killer songs with amazing hooks. Badflower are everything that’s missing from rock music today.”
 
The band adds, “‘Animal’ is about the perception of powerlessness, but not the reality of it. It’s the choice to be the masochist or the martyr. Sometimes, it’s better to feel suffering than nothing at all.”
 
“Animal” is just the first of five new tracks comprising the group’s major label debut Temper EP, arriving very soon. You can witness them live and on the prowl on tour with Billy Talent. The schedule and itinerary is included below.
 
Badflower are ready to reignite rock ‘n’ roll. Be on the lookout for more info on Temper.
 
Badflower’s ability to exorcise pure and palpable emotion is their calling card. It’s also a big reason why the group quietly became one of L.A.’s most buzzed-about rock ‘n’ roll bands. Since their emergence in 2014, the band—Josh Katz [vocals, guitar], Joe Morrow [lead guitar, backing vocals], Alex Espiritu [bass], and Anthony Sonetti [drums]—has shared stages with the likes of KONGOS and The Veronicas, earned acclaim from OC WeeklyLoudwire, and more, and achieved a two-week run at #1 on KROQ’s Locals Only Show with “Heroin.” During 2016, fashion icon John Varvatos personally signed the band to John Varvatos Records.
