Setting the tone with the sound of clucking chickens before rolling into a post-punk guitar energy with synthetic detailing, Bad Fractals open their high octane new single FreeRange with the poignant questions, “How many times have you fucked today? How many times have you fucked all dirty?”
The song expands with a series of questions, including the all important “How many times have you loved today?”, to create a manic ode to excess. Described by the band as “a hymn to the feverish greed that drives us to over-produce everything and others”.
Speaking on their artistic intention, Bad Fractals speak conceptually, “We are here for the dispossessed and the disillusioned, the empowered and the energised. We are a rage of punk, a sweet breeze that whispers secret sins and spits in your face.”
They add, “Take note: Rock n Roll is not a safe space. We are junk and jewels, rocks hurled through windows, kisses that roll across skin. We are mockery and mayhem – BAD FRACTALS – an itch in your soul. We have travelled a long way, and we embrace you. Take that riot in our hearts and kick it into life. Spray paint that love across the walls of the world, tattoo it onto our future with cheap lipstick. Celebrate sex and hear the world gasp, rename art and remake ourselves in its image. The time is NOW.”
The band consists of front person Bang Crosby an actor, singer, poet and writer who has performed across the globe and Freddie Stitz, who has been a musician from the age of four and has performed and toured with Razorlight & Joe Ely, Mystery Jets.
Along with Fred Astray who has performed on the underground rave scene and festival circuit with his band, Tribazik, and Astral Oz who is a passionate and talented Latvian guitarist who has performed regularly with Barabarella’s Bang Bang over the last 6 years.
FreeRange includes a subversive lyric with relation to oneness that caught our attention as they sing, “We are all one fuck, fucking each other, creating little fucks, let’s all fuck together…forever.”
