Grafting power pop melodies onto the speedy and minimal frameworks of punk rock, Bad Moves deliver rock & roll that's both fun and thoughtful. Their songs are energetic and propulsive, while their lyrics deal with personal and social issues that add to their power. The group's clean harmonies and upbeat, straightforward rock & roll were well-served on their debut album, 2018's Tell No One. 2020's Untenable added a dash of melodic sophistication and instrumental confidence, and 2024's Wearing Out the Refrain was a superior exercise in pure punk-pop for cynical people.
