scombdrope off with their head bb Favorite track: G&T.

abstract111 Blasting in public is so much fun Favorite track: King of Swords.

tinman73 Hard rock with thick-thick riffs! In fact the riffs are so thick they need to turn the drums up a bit (yes i know what i just said). Vocalist sounds a bit like Becky Black with the blues-turned-down. Awesome Duo!

AnnLocklin Well worth the wait. Great from beginning to end. Now come play Austin already! Favorite track: G&T.

wigilo Totally gut checked and loving it. Pummeling drums and driving guitars with intense vocals. Demands your attention and keeps you engaged. Favorite track: High Tower.

about

“Bad Reading” a collection of electrifying and pummeling songs imbued with raw energy, indignation and anxiety about the future. With the help of producer, mixer and engineer Doug Malone (Jamdek Recording Co.), Heet Deth (Julia Bard - Drums and Vox and Laila Eskin - Guitar and Vox) formed an album that prioritizes heft, driving drums and cutting guitar riffs. “Bad Reading” was written amidst an onslaught of shows in and outside of Chicago, and was recorded at Jamdek Recording Co. in Fall of 2023.

Might be one of the only songs of this genre I've heard to genuinely make me emotional. The pain, despair and frustration the entire track conveys is overwhelming. Classic album overall, no misses here. coda
