The Bad Companions second major release and showcases the band’s mix of energetic roots rock, rockabilly, and Americana with strong songwriting, tight arrangements, and lively performances. Influences from rockabilly and blues, anchored with engaging hooks and dynamic performances make the music feel both retro and fresh. Edgy, slightly psychedelic tracks blend rock energy with thoughtful songwriting. After-hours horn ballad textures add soulful depth.

• “This is the music your mom warned you about. Rockabilly, jump, blues, and swing rarely sounded so good as on The Bad Companions latest, issued on glorious vinyl. Pickers Al Subola and Dan Gaarder play with flash and panache.” – MD (Vintage Guitar, May 2017)
  
• “It’s another rompin’ set of music from The Bad Companions. A mix of rippin’ rockabilly and instrumentals from this great Twin Cities band. Check out their take of the old standard “Fly Me To The Moon” and the lesser known Chuck Berry song “Let’s Boogie.” This record jumps out of the speakers!! I dig the Bad Companions originals as well.” — Rockin’ John McDonald, WORT-FM, Madison WI June 2025
• “The Current 89.3 just played 12 Bars by the Bad Companions and it sounded incredible and was just what I needed.” — Scott LeGere (music business instructor, Augsburg University)
