About Bad Trips
Bad Trips was born in the shadows of the Skinny Apartment in Ridgewood, NY in the earliest days of the pandemic lockdown. Three rippers eager to hang and consume copious amounts of horror, sci-fi and b movies, resulting in sessions spanning everything from expansive dark electronic to sprawling psych rock.
Praise for Nothing But Trouble:
"... a blacklight warehouse show where the stains on the rug have started to stare back at you. ... woozy rhythms through clouds of electronic noise and reverb-heavy vocals. It's an intoxicating combo." - WIRE Magazine
"... a band like this only comes around every decade or so." - Ghettoblaster Magazine
"...blurs the edges just enough to make you grin, especially if you grew up blasting noise in a basement and watching B-movies you definitely weren’t supposed to see." - The Fire Note
"... a wonderful creation of sound art." - Monolith Cocktail
