Based in Los Angeles, badsoma brings together new and old friends Armin Fard, Starlit Eyes, Donald Segien, Braden Rose, Ana Léon, and Lindsey Hamilton.
Formed in September 2023, badsoma's sound is a potent indie infusion, weaving together pop melodies, driving riffs, and haunting lyrics. It’s a sound reminiscent of indie darlings Japanese Breakfast, armed with the fangs of early Wilco, and a healthy skepticism of postmodernism that harkens to the likes of Radiohead.
In July ‘24, the band released a debut EP, kicking and screaming.
The debuted on the NACC Top 200 at #134. It has since been featured prominently on various college and community radio stations across the country, such as KCSB, WPRK, and KUOM, where the song ‘burn out’ started the week of August 25th at #2 on the station’s Hitlist.
Fueled by raw emotion and a hunger for experimentation, badsoma is poised to make their mark, one ear-worm melody and face-melting guitar solo at a time.
