<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Los Angeles, CA –<b><span style="color:#F1D030"> </span></b>March 5, 2015
</i>— Gritty, infectious and unapologetic rock band <b>Badflower</b> premiere their official music video for “<b>Soap</b>” on
<b><i>Loudwire</i></b> today, <span style="color:red"><a href="http://loudwire.com/badflower-soap-exclusive-video-premiere/">PRESS HERE</a>
</span>to listen. The video features the explosive energy one can expect from a Badflower show while showcasing the band’s catchy hooks and heavy guitar riffs.<span style="color:black"> The track is also now available on iTunes,</span><span style="color:red">
<a href="http://bit.ly/BFSoap">PRESS HERE</a></span><br>
<br>
"'Soap' is inspired by a social experiment I saw online," says singer/songwriter Josh Katz. "It followed a girl around the city and recorded multiple men cat calling her, and I thought it was interesting how something so insulting could be socially acceptable.
The song is an oversimplification of the culture of male dominance and disrespectful behavior. I wrote the song from the perspective of that type of character - I enjoy writing about bizarre human tendencies, especially ones I don't agree with or understand."<br>
<br>
<span style="color:black">Badflower has been a staple in the LA rock scene for the past 2 years and their track "Heroin" secured the <b>#1 spot on KROQs Locals Only </b>after only one week. </span>It was the band’s live performance that had
<b>Hundred Handed (Coheed and Cambria, Nahko, Stars in Stereo, Golden Hippie)</b> wanting to sign them immediately.
<br>
<br>
"There is that moment when you go to check out a band for the first time and you walk away thinking you have to be involved," says David Bason, President of Hundred Handed. "As soon as I saw Badflower live, I was all in."<br>
<br>
Badflower is <span style="color:black">finishing their upcoming debut EP slated for release later this year and features their signature sound: snaky, psychedelic guitar riffs, often building to powerful rock rhythms over the course of a song. </span><br>
<br>
They are currently on tour in the UK with The Veronicas before heading to SXSW.<span style="color:red">
