They're continuing that upwards trajectory I spoke about previously having recently shared stages with the likes of Alien Nosejob and Bad//Dreems and securing plays on BBC radio for their latest single. It's a 3 minute soundscape of post punk goodness which you can find here : https://badnewsfirst.bandcamp.com/track/make-it-better
Bad News First (https://www.facebook.com/Badnewsfirstband) are a noisy post punk band based in and around Bristol and the South West of England. They debuted in 2021 with a Self Titled ep and have released 3 tracks since, the latest of which you'll find below.
As well as going down a storm on this week's Just Some Punk Songs show, the song has been attracting the interest of the broadcasting big boys with plays on @bbcintroducing. It's an up tempo, modern sounding track that suggests the band are very much on an upward trajectory. You can find it streaming here : https://badnewsfirst.bandcamp.com/track/under-the-father
It's called Under The Father...
Taking anger to the local boozer
I've got someone called a little user
Physicians skill was all in vain
So God took him to ease the pain
Smashing that pure raw white show
Take me under the red silk flow
So God may take me to see the show
Might join paths with Marilyn Monroe
Under the Father
Under the Son
Under the Holy
Spirit of having fun
Under the Father
Under the Son
Under the Holy
Spirit of having fun
Love is gained and all that will remain
Nothing left but this old bloodstain
Blessed son take the name
The time is now to play the game
Suit and tie they always lie
Take it to them they still won't die
Acting up beat but feeling dead
The time when the come when they feel Gods heat
Under the Father
Under the Son
Under the Holy
Spirit of having fun
Under the Father
Under the Son
Under the Holy
Spirit of having fun
What
Why
Panic lying and panic crying
Panic fighting for the price 2 for 1
Panic lying and panic crying
Panic fighting for the price 2 for 1
Panic lying and panic crying
Panic fighting for the price 2 for 1
Panic lying and panic crying
Panic fighting for the price 2 for 1
Under the Father
Under the Son
Under the Holy
Spirit of having fun
Under the Father
Under the Son
Under the Holy
Spirit of having fun
What
You got nothing left
It's spread to the core
Your families on the floor
Why
You got nothing left
It's spread to the core
Your waging a war.
