Bad Idols sound like they are from the Bay Area of California, so it just made sense for them to record their new full-length with Jack Shirley (Jeff Rosenstock / Deaf Heaven) at Atomic Garden Studios in the Bay Area of CA. The most straightforward comparison is likening Bad Idols to bands like Crimpshine and Fifteen, but that isn't giving them enough credit because they take that sound and make it their own.
