Rooted in Midwest punk rock, Bad Year formed in 2019 and calls Milwaukee, WI home. Inspired by heartbreak, angst, and self-reformation, Bad Year injects the scene with anthemic chorus hooks and brutal optimism. In the spirit of promoting positive aspects of mental health and empathy, their cathartic melodies are known for freely inspiring listeners with a sense of mutual understanding and hope. Mike, Joey, and Sean put a fresh, more decorated feel on musical incarnations and experiences of the past.
