Music News - The Bads are back with a new album, Losing Heroes

The Bads are back with a new album, Losing Heroes

26 May 2017 - 0 Comments

From one of New Zealand’s greatest songwriting duos, comes long awaited new music with single; Shelter Love

LISTEN HERE:
Bandcamp - https://thebads1.bandcamp.com/
Spotify - http://open.spotify.com/album/2pl37YFJLml11wMZIgoQKG
iTunes - https://geo.itunes.apple.com/nz/album/id1239367426?at=1l3v9Tx&app=itunes 

Shelter Love is a taunting creeping number highlighted with Dianne Swann’s haunting and uplifting vocals in combo with long time partner Brett Adams magic guitar playing & their combined song craft, make for a great tease as to what else will come on their much anticipated next album, Losing Heroes.

Written across the summer of 2016, and recorded throughout the winter months with Ben Edwardsat Sitting Room Studios in Lyttelton, Losing Heroes will be independently released on July 7th with LP and CD distribution via Rhythmethod and available via digital services. 

It’s been a four year hiatus since the 2013 album, Travel Light, was released.  The album reached #3 on the NZ Music Album Charts and regarded by many as one of the best NZ albums of all time.

“It’s an accomplished, beguiling record, one that should appeal to fans of Wilco and Crowded House, and deserves greater recognition.”
- 5/5  - TimeOut, NZ Herald 

 ‘Travel Light is an album that you should buy. You should listen to. And you should love. Because it’s good. So very good.”- Blog on The Tracks

“Travel Light is a cohesive album of songs that sit together perfectly.”
- 5/5 stars -  Herald On Sunday 

“Adams and Swann confirm that when it comes to songcraft and delivery they stand among our finest . . . albeit in that world where they have to struggle for the mainstream attention they so richly deserve….it's time to pay attention to the Bads. Who are very, very good.”
-Graham Reid, Elsewhere.co.nz 

Expect to hear more before the album release, and as their current fans know, The Bads are a great time live!!  More music and some tour dates to come!
