Born amidst the restless energy of Los Angeles’ underground scene, badsoma emerged in September 2023 as a collaborative indie rock outfit. Since their debut as a band, badsoma’s trajectory has been striking. Their singles, supported by TigerBomb, broke onto the NACC Top 200 (#134 debut), while the song “burn out” climbed to #2 on KCSB’s Hitlist within weeks.
Their music has found a home on college and community radio stations across the country, underscoring both their immediate resonance and their staying power.
With their forthcoming self-titled EP (due November 14), badsoma continues to expand its sonic reach. The record embodies the band’s ethos. It is collaborative at its core, politically and environmentally conscious in its presence, and unafraid to blur boundaries between the personal and the collective. Each track is a testament to the idea that individuality doesn’t have to be erased to create unity — instead, it can be transformed into something larger, more vital, and more alive.
