Could be one of rock's next biggest bands. But only if they want to be. We spoke to frontman Josh Katz about the band's past, present, and future. Katz is not afraid to break down genre walls, and while he spoke about his appreciation for guitar-based music, he also explained that he is no rock purist: his focus is centered in lyricism and emotions, not guitars.

Take me back to the beginning of Badflower. How did it all start?

Инструкция по отбору проб воды здоровья. Our guitarist, Joey [Morrow], and I met first when we were 18. We were living in the same apartment building, going to school for music. Neither of us were very good at school so we both dropped out and just started making music together. And then Alex [Espiritu], the bass player, and I went high school together, but we weren’t friends.

We actually barely knew each other. We met up later, became friends and he joined our band. And Anthony [Sonetti], the drummer, was in another band that we liked a lot and we heard that band had split. So we got him on board and everyone was living in LA at the time so it just happened to work out. It’s funny because when we started, we were not very heavy [sounding] at all.

Joey and I were huge Beatles fans. We were kids, we had no idea what we were doing. And then we wrote “Animal,” which ended up being our first kinda-big single. It was the heaviest thing we had done and we realized that we enjoyed it and people liked listening to it.

So we were like, 'Cool, let’s do the rock and roll thing. In Badflower's bio on Spotify, it says that you guys recorded your Temper EP inside of a garage in California and had to keep putting a MacBook computer in a freezer because it kept overheating. Yes, and I still have that MacBook. We had been on a record label prior to that and made an EP that was done with a producer that we didn’t really like. And we felt like the direction of our band was going in a direction that we didn't feel like we had control of. So we got off that label and onto Republic and they wanted to release that EP, and we were just not having it. So we decided to go in the garage and buy a bunch of gear that we couldn't afford, go into debt, basically making a new EP in hopes that they would release that instead and they did.

We didn't actually have permission to do it that way, we just did it. The fact that our first EP and big, radio- Billboard-charting song was done in a garage is pretty cool. I don't think that happens that often anymore.

When it comes to the [rock] genre not being as popular as it was, I don't really care, to be honest. It doesn't bother me. I feel like there are amazing songs out there in every genre. It kinda doesn't matter what's playing on the radio, just go on Spotify, go find it. It's easy to find and access any kind of music you want and there's really great music being made, so who cares? Honestly, I don't even like to consider us a rock band, because by the next record if I want to make a folk album then I'm going to.

So you don't feel beholden to a certain genre? And I hope I never do. There are two different ways of looking at it. There are a lot of bands who stick to sounding the same forever because they know their fans are always gonna like it, and they're afraid to go outside of their comfort bubble or box because they know what they've done thus far has worked. And then there are bands who radically shift, and their fans don't embrace it. And that sucks too, but I'm definitely not gonna be in the band that keeps churning out the same style of music just because it makes us money.
