<p class="MsoNormal"><i>Los Angeles, CA –<b><span style="color:#F1D030"> </span></b>June 19, 2015
</i>— Gritty, infectious and unapologetic rock band Badflower proves they are not to be reckoned with in their new song “<b>Animal</b>,” which
<b><i>NYLON</i></b> premiered today, <b><a href="http://www.nylon.com/articles/song-premiere-badflower-animal">PRESS HERE</a></b> to listen. The track will appear on the band’s upcoming album preview that will also feature fan favorites “Soap” and “Heroin.”
The album preview will be available on iTunes on Tuesday. <br>
<br>
Lead singer songwriter Josh Katz says this about the meaning behind the song: "When you're constantly being tortured by someone or something you love, the lines between compassion and resentment become blurred. ‘Animal’ is about obsession, particularly with
a vicious person. And sometimes the only way to describe how vicious a person can be is to take away the qualities that make them human."<br>
<br>
Badflower recently premiered their official music video for their song “Soap” which made #4 on
<b><i>Loudwire’s</i></b> Battle Royale Video Countdown, <a href="http://youtu.be/nEYCoSrLPrE">Press Here</a> to watch.
<span style="color:black">The track is also now available on iTunes,</span><span style="color:red">
</span><a href="http://bit.ly/BFSoap">PRESS HERE</a><span class="MsoHyperlink">.</span><u><span style="color:#0563C1"><br>
<br>
</span></u><span style="color:black">The band first appeared on the LA rock scene two years ago 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>
