Atlanta-based band Bad Guru has been on a steady rise in their local rock scene as well as around the world with their audacious and genre-breaking sound. Formed in 2019 by Sierra Watkins, Ethan Bilkert, Joey Hurley, Blake Powell and Quinn Brophy, this rock quintet draws inspiration from the likes of Kings of Leon, Sturgill Simpson, Highly Suspect, Tool and Soundgarden.
Their music distils the intensity and dichotomy of life, oscillating between chaos and order, light and dark. Their unique philosophy urges listeners to embrace life in its entirety, rejecting moderation and exploring emotional experiences. This bold approach is mirrored in their powerful, melody-driven sound, built on Sierra’s dynamic vocals and the band’s extraordinary instrumental flair.
Bad Guru first made an impact with their eponymous debut album in 2021, capturing the attention of rock enthusiasts with their energetic and exciting musical style. This year, they returned with two singles, “Needles Eyes” and “Love and Fear Me,” in the build up up to their highly anticipated sophomore record, Love and Fear Me.
Bringing us the previously released single and title track, they share the song titled “Love and Fear Me,” This song serves as the perfect example of the latest chapter of their thrilling musical story while capturing their expansive alternative rock sound.
Lulling the listener in with soft guitar tones and Sierra’s elegant vocalisations, the track the erupts into an explosive rock extravaganza where powerful vocals, pounding drums and chugging guitar rhythms and slick leas all collide in a epic sound.
Capped by Sierra’s stunning vocal performance and backed by sensational musicianship featuring wah-drecnehd guitar solo, “Love and Fear Me” offer a spectacular display of the band’s latest sound. With their brand-new second record now released, fans can fully immerse themselves in the incredible musical world that Bad Guru has on offer.
