Geniie Boy burst through with bubbling indie pop banger, 'Bad Company'
Honestly, can GENIIE BOY do any wrong? Having already release two amazing alternative indie pop tracks in ‘Fool’s Play’ and ‘Bruises’, the duo are going three for three with brand new track, ‘Bad Company’.
The Gold Coast duo of Alisha Todd and Scott French have established a distinct, bold indie pop sound that wavers in and out of alternative territories, but staying easily within the realms of musical accessibility.
It’s fun, high-spirited, with yearning vocals, and lush instrumentation. Rootsy, picked guitar lines, with a smooth bass line, and those cheeky hints of vocoder, are all wrapped in a contagiously danceable track.
Naturally, the upbeat, inspiring and freeing feeling of the track is a fitting reminder to be loud, be proud and be the best company. Alisha Todd elaborates the meaning behind the track: "'Bad Company' is about finding your voice again and playing with the idea that you are bad company when you are not being true to yourself. It also talks about external entities influencing who you become, usually at a cost to someone’s happiness/fulfilment."
Contrary to the title, GENIIE BOY have been found in good company as they've graced the main stage at Jungle Love Festival and performed at the internationally recognised So Far Sounds as well as grabbing the attention of the likes Spotify ('Bruises' landed on 'Fuzzy' playlist), Triple J, Triple J Unearthed, AAA Backstage, Blank GC, Scenestr and more.
Their lead single 'Bad Company' is out now, ahead of their debut EP, 'If You Have Something To Say', which will release on August 27.
