Bad Hagrid decided to bite back with brand new and gritty synth-rock track Then Again. Grafting off their early 2021 double release success, Here Comes Haggy, the spooky boys are at it again. It looks as though they may be leading up to another big project release for the summer!
Then Again is another banger on a long list of singles released by the new Pōneke classic.
After Bad Hagrid’s successful debut album, Bad Hagrid and The Planet of The Androgynites, and monthly singles leading to it, the band rode the wave through multiple nationwide tours and continuous releases. Within the boom of progress and community growth, Bad Hagrid encourages all to join the journey. The band live to express fictional tales and give our community musical bliss.
Being birthed out of the Wellington Massey University music revival in 2018, Bad Hagrid have become a staple name in the underground Pōneke scene.
Bad Hagrid’s debut album, Bad Hagrid and The Planet of The Androgynites, was released during lockdown on the 8th of May 2020 as the first audible step into the New Zealand Music Industry. The direct and illuminating poetic creativity tells stories of unique but relatable characters and is putting them forward to a National audience.
Following up with the frenetic double release of Here Comes Haggy in a Covid filled world, Bad Hagrid made it work. Constant radio play and support from media outlets kept the band in the current.
The spooky boys have toured nationally 3 times since the debut album, all three being progressive success stories. From a sell out Tāmaki Makaurau performance to another in Te Whanganui-a-Tara to a consistently adoring crowd in Whanganui.
Since their beginning, Bad Hagrid has been pushing and shoving into the industry leaving a wake of beard oil, stray hair, and sporadic drops of poly-juice.
“What if my parents didn't love me?
But I know they do
And the love of my life
I hope she do too
Ever thought about dying?
I have and it’s scary
I'm here for you
I'm here for you dearie”
