Rhythm Hot Band: Bad Sign
Our latest tip for the top that you have to check out
Band: Bad Sign
Drummer: David Smith
Who are they? UK power trio echoing the sounds of Seattle.
Sounds like: They've been raised on a staple diet of grunge.
Why should you check them out? New EP Exit is a hugely promising slab of grunge/alt-rock with one foot firmly in Seattle circa 1992. Just take a listen to the frankly awesome 'Eclipse' to see what we mean.
But, there's more to Bad Sign than meets the eye, that much is apparent even on this five-track taster of their sound. 'Inertia' takes Muse-esque stadium-sized hooks and gives them the Bad Sign treatment, while 'Exit' is an atmospheric CD closer to savour. Certainly ones to watch.
