Epitaph

Bad Suns is an American indie rock band formed in 2012. Hailing from Los Angeles, California, the band consists of Christo Bowman (vocals), Ray Libby (guitar), Gavin Bennett (bass), and Miles Morris (drums). With their infectious blend of catchy melodies and introspective lyrics, Bad Suns has quickly gained a dedicated fanbase.
Their debut album "Language & Perspective" was released in 2014, featuring hit singles like "Cardiac Arrest" and "Salt." Since then, they have continued to captivate audiences with their energetic live performances and thought-provoking music.
Known for their unique sound that combines elements of alternative rock, new wave, and post-punk revival, Bad Suns draws inspiration from bands like The Cure and The Police. Their music seamlessly blends nostalgic vibes with a modern twist, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Bad Suns sound - dreamy '80s pastiche flanked by Stratocasters through cranked Vox amps, pulsing synths, and palpable rhythmic energy - that endeared listeners to the band in the first place, and their fourth LP, APOCALYPSE WHENEVER, uses that musical foundation as the jumping-off point for their next evolution. Conceived as "the soundtrack to a movie that doesn't yet exist," the 13-track album, helmed by longtime producer Eric Palmquist (MUTEMATH, Thrice) at his Palmquist Studios and the band's North Hollywood rehearsal spot, is more conceptually rigorous than anything they've ever attempted - but no less compelling or accessible. "We also knew we wanted the album to have a through-line, a story from beginning to end," frontman Christo Bowman explains, so the band did what any good directors would: They assembled a mood board, filtering their neo-noir version of Los Angeles through the dreamlike haziness of author Haruki Murakami, the futuristic flair of Terminator 2: Judgment Day and Blade Runner, and the lifted cinematography of Spike Jonze's HER. These disparate influences don't just offer APOCALYPSE WHENEVER an expanded palette of sonic choices to color Bad Sun's airtight hooks - they help give the songs an emotional complexity that works on a multitude of levels depending on how listeners choose to receive them.
