Badflower

Badflower isn’t afraid of making anybody uncomfortable. The Los Angeles-bred and Nashville-based quartet — Josh Katz (lead singer, guitarist), Joey Morrow (lead guitar, backing vocals), Alex Espiritu (bass), and Anthony Sonetti (drums) — siphon stress, sleeplessness, sex, sadness, mania, pain, and truth into revelatory alternative anthems, continuing to commit body, blood, mind, and soul to their art. After forming in LA in 2014, they dropped two EPs before sending shockwaves throughout the rock world with their 2019 full-length debut, Ok, I’m Sick, via Big Machine Records. LoudWire listed it among the “50 Best Rock Albums of 2019,” while singles “The Jester,” “Heroin,” and “Ghost” all vaulted to No. 1 at Rock Radio. The latter also picked up a Platinum certification from the RIAA and was awarded “Rock Song of the Year” at the iHeartRadio Awards. Along the way, the group garnered further acclaim from Billboard, Nylon, Alternative Press, and performed on The Late Late Show with James Corden. The band is a rare breed of act who can ignite a crowd at Kaboo Del Mar or Sonic Temple, in addition to sharing bills with the likes of Incubus, Cage the Elephant, Ghost, Nothing More, Shinedown, Soundgarden, and many more, gathering over 200M streams and counting across platforms. Catch Badflower on their 2024 No Place Like Home Tour this fall with Slothrust and Missio supporting on select US dates. For tickets and more information, visit badflowermusic.com.
