About Badflower
Badflower is an alternative rock band from Los Angeles, CA, formed in 2013.
Badflower formed in Los Angeles in 2013, fronted by singer and guitarist Josh Katz. The band plays guitar-heavy hard rock with roots in grunge and post-grunge, and Katz writes in a blunt, first-person style that often sounds deliberately uncomfortable. Their debut album, 'OK, I'm Sick', arrived in 2019, followed by 'This Is How the World Ends' in 2021, a record that turned outward toward politics and online culture as well as personal turmoil.
