Vancouver trio Bad Pop revel incandescently on "Same House"

09 May 2017, 12:01 | Written by The Line of Best Fit

Canadian band Bad Pop have dropped their follow up to their self-titled debut single and it's a song flush with their own distinct, tight-AF post-slacker sound.

An intoxicating mix of the discordant mastery of Pavement, the lyrical and rhythmic tone of Pixies and the impish pop sensibilities of Weezer, the track went through various forms, explains frontman Chris Connelly. "There's a straight ahead Rock n Roll version, a Stoner Rock version, and finally we settled on the version you're hearing now: psychedelic disco pop.

"The song is about ignoring common wisdom and forging your own path in life," adds Connelly, "a youthfully romanticised idea that becomes increasing difficult to pull off and people stop caring about your 'path'."

Bad Pop play at The Great Escape Festival in Brighton on 20 May.
