The Bad Suns release powerful new video for their infectious song, Salt

November 14, 2014

The Bad Suns from Southern California just released their new video for their song, Salt. It is an amazingly powerful and impressive video. The song has a great uptempo uplifting vibe and yet carries such depth through the dark lyrics. The video truly brings those lyrics to life as it takes you on a tumultuous journey through a young transgender eyes as he struggles with gender identity. It is such a great video that I absolutely love! Check it out here: The song is off their debut album, Language and Perspective which was released earlier this year. You can head over to iTunes here and pick it up. Bad Suns will soon be announcing dates for their headline tour of 2015 and I can’t wait to see them again. We caught them last month as they opened for New Politics at the legendary Fillmore in San Francisco. In case you missed it, you can check out the photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set: Make sure to check the dates below and see if [Read More]

The song is on their Lost EP which was released earlier this year but it has been gaining in popularity as it is currently featured in Disney’s Big Heroes 6 film. Check out the song in the Disney trailer here: I know my seven year old has been begging me to take him to see the movie and I can’t wait!

October 30, 2014

Sunday night in San Francisco was an awesome one. While many were watching the SF Giants shut out the Kansas City Royals in game 5 of the World Series, we were excited to be at the Termintour at the Above DNA Lounge. We were blown away by The Rabid Whole and you can read more about them here.
