Badflower

ABOUT BADFLOWER: No Place Like Home, the third studio album from Badflower, finds the Los Angeles-bred, Nashville-based rock band in their most vulnerable and reflective state yet. Written entirely sober for the first time by frontman Josh Katz, the album is a raw exploration of regret, aging, emotional isolation, and the shifting idea of “home.” For Katz, home isn’t a place or a person — it’s a memory, a version of himself he no longer recognizes in a world that feels increasingly foreign.

Since their formation in 2011, Badflower has released two EPs, their hit full-length debut Ok, I’m Sick via Big Machine Label Group, and their sophomore record, This Is How The World Ends. With a unique blend of raw rock and introspective storytelling, the band have earned critical acclaim from outlets like Billboard, Alternative Press, and Nylon. Their hit single “Ghost” went Platinum, received “Rock Song of the Year” honors at the iHeartRadio Awards, and has amassed over 700 million streams, all while captivating audiences across the globe, playing major festivals like Kaboo Del Mar and Sonic Temple, and sharing stages with bands such as Incubus, Shinedown, and Ghost.

Four years in the making, No Place Like Home marks a turning point for Badflower — Josh Katz (vocals/guitar), Joey Morrow (lead guitar), Alex Espiritu (bass), and Anthony Sonetti (drums) — as they confront the disillusionment that comes after achieving their lifelong dreams. From the biting commentary of the music industry on “Number 1” to the
heartbreaking future regrets of “Don’t Be a Stranger” and “Paws,” the album weaves together themes of mental health, self-doubt, and existential dread with an unflinching honesty that’s become Badflower’s signature. No Place Like Home doesn’t offer easy answers — instead, it invites listeners to sit with their discomfort, to feel seen, and maybe, to feel less alone. With the album’s release, the band shifts gears as they embark on their 2025 Unity Tour alongside 311, from June 20 to August 31. For tickets and more information, visit badflowermusic.com.
