Badflower
Band Formed 2013
Badflower formed in 2013. Badflower has 25 chart appearances on 20 radio countdowns from 10 stations on RockLists, spanning 2018–2025. The most successful song on radio countdowns is “Ghost”, which appears on 7 lists with a best position of #9. The station that charted Badflower most often is 98KUPD (Phoenix, AZ), with 10 appearances. The artist’s biggest year on year-end countdowns was 2018.
Badflower came together in Los Angeles in 2013 around singer and guitarist Josh Katz, with Joey Morrow on lead guitar, Alex Espiritu on bass and Anthony Sonetti on drums. They play hard rock with the volume up and the nerves showing: big, grinding riffs, choruses that go for the throat, and Katz pushing his voice right to the edge of cracking.
The Temper EP in 2016 got them named Apple Music's Artist of the Week, and they signed to Big Machine / John Varvatos Records. Their debut album, OK, I'm Sick, landed on February 22, 2019, and it's where "Ghost", "The Jester" and "Promise Me" come from. The follow-up, This Is How the World Ends, came out on September 24, 2021, and "Don't Hate Me" is the one that came with it.
