Badflower for what seems to be a new band for radio over the last couple of years has actually been around for a while. Formed in Los Angeles, California, Badflower has remained intact since starting in 2008.

Badflower features singer/guitarist Josh Katz, lead guitarist Joey Morrow, bass guitarists Alex Espiritu and drummer Anthony Sonetti. All four members have been in the band since 2008 and continue you now in 2023 with two major label releases under their belts.

Ghost, from Badflower's album I'm So Sick was the first song to make it to mainstream radio and has been a staple since its release. Balflower is one of the most self contained bands I have ever met. Besides being a great lyricist and singer, Katz also engineers and produces the bands music.

A friend of the band makes all of Badflowers videos, takes their photos, while another friend is the bands tour manager. You can say its a very small circle with it comes to Badflower with the band and crew.

Other great songs fro Ok, I'm Sick include Heroin, Promise Me, The Jester, Daddy, but if you ask me there is not a bad song on the album. This is still my most favorite album to have come out in decades.
