... a totally raucous and amazing show all around: psychedelic surf, punk, pop, you name it - though above all it felt like something NEW.

ABOUT THE BAND

Tight-as-can-be three-part harmonic explosions wrapped in a gritty, primal, snarling exterior, Bad Buddy (Edmonton, Alberta) is a force to be reckoned with. The electric energy of their live show is only amplified by the exceptional songwriting ability possessed by the band. The female-fronted Motown-surf-punk band commands attention, painting powerful, sonic pictures drawn from real-life inspirations. 

Bad Buddy released their debut album in July of 2020, reaching #1 on Earshot, followed by single, "Mind Control" (June 2021). These releases were preceded by EP, The Sneakie Peakie.

Bad Buddy is Emily Bachynski (guitar, vocals), Andi Vissia (guitar, vocals), and Geoffrey Hamdon-O’Brien (drums).
