Skegss

Unabashed joie de vivre and Aussie swagger: Skegss in a nutshell.

So with fresh material and classic hits like “L.S.D.” in tow, the Badlands crowd can brace themselves for an explosive cocktail of bouncy punk […]

Meatbodies

All the way from LA: the mighty Meatbodies. And we’re stoked for this killer band taking the trip to Badlands #2. Meatbodies make loud, fuzzy, psychedelic rock with big hooks and a wild edge. Their new album Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom – give it a spin or 2, 3, 4 by the way! – mixes […]

Iguana Death Cult

Our groovy friends from Rotterdam are closing the Saturday! Iguana Death Cult make high-voltage, rhythm-twisted garage psych that lands somewhere between paranoid disco, no-wave funk and a tightly wound punk meltdown. Fueled by the chaotic energy of Rotterdam and the band’s Belgian-stove rehearsal therapy sessions, their sound has grown from razor-edged garage rock into a […]

C’est Qui?

C’est Qui? A groovy, garagey, glamorous, grimy, gnarly punk band born the moment four clashing genres walked into a room and accidentally created an out-of-control punk baby. C’est Qui? They look like they broke out of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, hit like a ten-ton truck to the face, smell like red shiny pumps […]
