Bad Moves is Emma Cleveland, David Combs, Katie Park and Daoud Tyler-Ameen. Formed in 2015, the band has performed throughout the U.S. and U.K., held its own alongside Jeff Rosenstock and The Hold Steady, and even been animated into an episode of Cartoon Network's Craig of the Creek.
On its self-titled 2016 EP, the band explored bleak adulthood, writing about bad jobs, corrupt leaders, frustrated dreams and gentrifying cities. Tell No One, released in 2018 on Don Giovanni records, was Bad Moves' debut LP: 12 songs about confronting old secrets and stumbling into self-discovery, wrapped in a sound that hometown weekly Washington City Paper called "exuberant catharsis, the type of pop that makes you breathe deep and shout." The album was recorded at Philadelphia's Headroom Studios by Joe Reinhart (Hop Along, Algernon Cadwallader).
In 2020, the group paired up again with Reinhart to produce its second LP, Untenable. Spikier sounds framed lyrics about the places where instability erodes our lives — tipped wages, service industry jobs, our self-image as groomed for public consumption via social media. The title is a nod to the overwhelming feeling of unsustainability that permeates life right now, but there’s a melodic sweetness and a fair bit of hope there, too. Uncertain times are also an opportunity for change.
