Bad Reed

Canadian alt rock/crossover quartet Bad Reed have unveiled their self-titled debut studio EP! The band draws influences from acts such as The Mars Volta and Esperanza Spalding. My favourite song is Slackjaw Romance.


Bad Reed is Costa Chatzis on percussion, Austin Sharpe on bass, Sydney Sollazzo vocals and keyboards, and Graham Walker on guitars. Hailing from small towns and diverse backgrounds, Bad Reed consists of members with varying music tastes. The group emerged in March 2015 from the ashes of their previous acts to forge a new, focused force of nature. Strip-searching music's history while fusing modern zest, they are likened to acts from Alt-J, Hozier, Jack White, and The Black Keys to Snarky Puppy, The Mars Volta, and Esperanza Spalding.

Bad Reed are currently on tour in Southeast Canada promoting the EP.
