Bad Planning - Et Forte

Somewhere between Crucial Dudes and Lifetime the youngins from Bad Planning found a place in my heart. This Chicagoland four-piece crank out 8 tracks of melodic hardcore and pop-punk that feels years beyond their age, but altogether sincere and energetic. Super posi and a lot of fun, sometime that’s been lost in the Soundcloud era of super immediate music and YouTube music super stars. For real, I just watched Awkwafina’s My Vag video for the first time last week.
