Hailing from Denton, Texas, Bad Sports are a band whose music is a powerful fusion of punk rock velocity and attitude, hard rock guitar raunch, and power pop hooks. Breaking out in 2008 with a pair of small-label singles, the trio dropped a self-titled album in 2009, and 2011's Kings of the Weekend showed they'd mastered the art of balancing punk energy with pop precision. Their next two albums, 2013's Bras and 2018's Constant Stimulation, showed they were capable of tightening up their technique without blunting their guitar power -- or their tunefulness.
