Japanese throwback quartet THE BAWDIES flex rock flair heavily influenced by the music that still reverberates from the ‘60s. They've been layering lead singer Roy's throaty vocals over upbeat guitar riffs since 2004, and their mix of simple-but-catchy songwriting and Roy's infectious singing shows off hefty energetic swagger (“HOT DOG”). Inspired both by The Beatles' knack for hooks and by rawer garage-rock bands such as The Sonics (“45s”), THE BAWDIES craft dance-floor fillers such as “DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY” and sweet pop songs like “LEMONADE” with a nod to the past and a sound all their own.
