The band consists of Kerry Alexander, Chris Hoge, and Connor Davison. Named for a trouble-making character from the Madeline children’s books, Bad Bad Hatsis defined by a balance of sweet and sour. Their music honors classic pop songwriting, with nods to nineties rock simplicity and pop-punk frivolity. Through it all, Alexander’s unflinchingly sincere lyrics cut to the emotional heart of things. 

Their debut album Psychic Reader came out in 2015, they've since toured extensively with The Front Bottoms, Margaret Glaspy and even a handful of dates with Third Eye Blind to name a few. 

"...programmed to fire all neural pathways associated with carefree indie rock fun. But beware: These lyrics will bite." - NPR

"terse, honest lyrics suggest a weathered wisdom." - The New Yorker
