Bongloard
Badlands residents back at it again. Bongloard was present at our Launch Party at the Fubar atelier, then they closed the Harley-Davidson on Badlands 2025’s Saturday and now we’re flying this bunch of baddies in again for August 2026. We’ve heard there’s new music on its way, till then: buy their stuff, see their shows […]
The Bird Experience
The Bird Experience is raw desire set to rhythm, sweat slick on skin, the sting of whiskey on a split lip.

Magnetic Spacemen
Gritty garagerock, surf soaked post punk and unfiltered rock ’n roll. Magnetic Spacemen is your perfect excuse to get rid of that 9 to 5 slur. Come dance. Sounds like? O SEES, Parquet Courts, DEVO and The Stooges.
Badminton
Badminton is your new favorite alt-rock four-piece with a heavy dose of ’90s swag. Expect fuzzed-out riffs and hooky choruses. These bruisers will get you moving. Catch ‘m Badlands Friday!
DE VINYL BUS
DE VINYL BUS brings slick tunes on vinyl only. Pick ‘m, sling ‘m and party the day away.

The Swampz
Cool and hard-boogieing swamprock, equal parts grit, groove and Horster swagger. Local old rat three piece that’ll kick you into Badlands Friday like only they can.
