Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Badflower Announces New Album “This Is How The World Ends”, Releases New Song “Family”
Los Angeles-based rock band Badflower announced their sophomore album “This Is How The World Ends” would be released on September 24, 2021.
The album contains 13-track and is their first LP in two years.
From the album, the band unveiled a new song “Family” along with a music video.
It was written by Joey Morrow, Anthony Sonetti, Josh Katz and Alex Espiritu.
Frontman Josh Katz said of the song, “This song is very important to me. I've spent a lot of years of my life trying to understand certain qualities about myself. Why I constantly distance myself from the people I care about the most. Why interacting with my family feels so uncomfortable as an adult. Why the simplest acts of kindness or words of affirmation feel like impossible tasks that I'd rather just avoid. I'm an extremely empathetic person but I only show that side of myself to strangers because actual vulnerability is too… vulnerable. That insecurity is turning me into a selfish, lonely person that I don't want to be."- He continued, “It's a lot easier to play the victim and blame other people, stress, childhood trauma etc. rather than just admit I'm responsible for it. I'm the one that owes the apologies. I let it get this bad. I still don't know exactly how to fix it, all I know how to do is articulate the way it feels through music. For now… Its gonna be impossible for me NOT to confront it now that the song is out for my whole family to hear. Which is terrifying, but it's what needs to happen. I'm fucking 30, I have deal with my shit eventually.”
He added, “I hope the song helps someone else with similar issues on either end. As a way to start the conversation or even just inspire people to be a little more mindful of the people we love and who love us. Especially now in these insanely divided times. We could all use a reminder. Families and friendships are SO important.” - source : Spotify
