Coming together off a shared appreciation for rough-around-the-edges punk, embellished with a distinctly emo flair is Brisbane 4 piece Bad Neighbour.

 

If “When The World Explodes” was a knock on the door, the bands sophomore EP “If No Gets To Win” crashes an SUV into your living room. It’s a testament to determination over Riley’s impassioned and desperate howls. The band turn “Do you get it yet?” from a question, to a war cry.

​

Breakneck verses give way to palpable choruses, Bad Neighbour has grown from a high school friendship into what can only be described as a small community, not afraid to have uncomfortable conversations based around segregation, loneliness and maturing underpinned by a blending rush of sub-genres.
