Rising indie group, Bad Sounds, have had to postpone their summer 2021 tour due to the ever long pandemic. The tour would have seen the band perform during early June (pre 21st June – the date that lockdown restrictions will be lifted) hitting up places such as Brudenell Social Club in Leeds and Jimmy’s in Liverpool. Yet, due to uncertainties surrounding the live music industry, the band have had to cancel their entire tour.
Bad Sound issued a statement to instagram to unveil the sad news, stating, “With a heavy heart, we have to announce that due to the ongoing uncertainties surrounding live music, our upcoming tour has been cancelled. Anyone who has been to one of our shows before will know how much we love playing live, and how much it means to us when we see you beautiful faces, batting balloons away and sining with us through a thick fog of confetti. We’re going to take some time to regroup and figure out when and how we can do this to make it something special and we will be back as soon as we can!”
However, not all is lost. Bad Sounds added that big news will be coming on all socials. Fans will have to wait and see for the new dates and what news this could bring, but their could be more collaborations on singles. They stated, “In the meantime, keep an eye out on our socials for bigs new and new dates. Refunds will of course be issued from point of purchase.”
The indie five-piece had recently released ‘Move In To Me’, a slow and emotional track that collaborates with the New Zealand duo, Broods. The smooth track combines the two bands sound perfectly, creating a simmering groove track.
Front men of the band, brothers Callum and Ewan Merrett, said they always envisioned Bad Sounds as a ‘collaborative project’, to meet a “bunch of like-minded musicians and write songs together and our friends would feature.”
This is evident with their recent work with Arlo Parks. Working behind the scenes on ‘Bluish’, Bad Sounds stated to their socials, ‘It’s a huge privilege for us to be a part of such an important artist’s debut album and we’re extremely grateful to Arlo for getting us involved I hope we did you proud’. The track has gained over 800,000 streams on Spotify alone, showing that the future of Bad Sounds is bright!
