Bad Sports: Living with Secrets 12″ (new)

Description

Bad Sports return with a jaw-dropping new 12-inch! While the band hasnt released anything in a couple of years, the individual members have been anything but idle during that time. Orville Neely continues his slow takeover of the world with rock juggernauts OBN IIIs (who have released two albums in the past two years), while Daniel Fried and Gregory Rutherfords band Video got signed to Jack Whites label Third Man Records, and has been touring ever since. The pair have also been touring a ton as one half of Radioactivity, who released the stunning Silent Kill on Dirtnap last year. Originally conceived as a series of three singles, the band and label realized that the individual seven songs worked as one piece. Living With Secrets is another step forward for Bad Sportsmoving away from both the ebullient punk/power pop of 2011s Kings Of The Weekend and the anything-goes grimy punk of 2014s Bras, this EP is their darkest, most powerful, and weirdest. The lyrics are bleak and desperate, but the music is more dangerously catchy than ever.
