Baddies' First Release

Baddies are a Southend band consisting of Michael Webster (formerly of Engerica), Simon Bellamy, Jim Webster and Danny Rowton. The band quickly started recording and touring, and seem to be getting a lot of attention. Their published discography so far totals two tracks on the split EP twobythree with Reuben and The Ghost Of A Thousand. Battleships and Tiffany I'm Sorry are two immediately loveable and individual tracks, and for fans of the deceased Engerica the band's sound is both comfortably familiar and something new.

The band have recently announced a download and limited 7" release of Battleships, (recorded anew with Sean Genocky), and the new song Block It Out. It'll be out on the 27th October.

Though I may pay little mind to the new version of Battleships, I can't wait for an unheard track. When you're a new band with a strong sound and a small collection of songs, there's not much you can do wrong. Every song is a gem.
