Self-Titled LP due out 4/12 on Don Giovanni Records
“terse, honest lyrics suggest a weathered wisdom.” – The New Yorker
“… programmed to fire all neural pathways associated with carefree indie rock fun.
But beware: These lyrics will bite.” – NPR
“Vocalist/guitarist Kerry Alexander’s pure voice might be called “sweet” or “childlike,” but her innocence is belied by her apt songwriting, which translates her experiences into poignant, universal stories.” – Pitchfork
“artfully construed guitar-pop” – Stereogum
“boasting an abundance of both ear-catching guitar parts and vocal hooks that are so
infectious you’d be hard pressed not to sing along.” – Guitar World
” … the perfect, dreamy-pop summer soundtrack.” – PAPER
“A gritty two-and-a-half minutes of wobbly bass, wailing guitar, and front woman Kerry Alexander’s slinky vocals, it is a blast—and there is more like this to come.” – FADER

Minneapolis’ indie rock heroes Bad Bad Hats announced their brand new self-titled album to acclaim spanning Stereogum, PASTE, Women That Rock, BrooklynVegan and more. Due out April 12 on Don Giovanni Records, the new collection packs the band’s ebullient sweet-and-sour indie pop chops, playful lyricism and signature sense of humor into every bite. While started in 2018, new single “My Heart Your Heart” was able to be completed for the new album after enduring the difficulty of 2020 and coming out the other end with an even deeper love and connection with her partner. Arriving today alongside an official video, Kerry Alexander shares, “The chorus of this song is actually something I wrote back in January 2018 when we were working on our second album, Lightning Round. I always liked it, but sometimes songs need you to go through years of new inspiration and trial and error before you’re ready to uncover their final form. Thankfully in April of 2021, a chord progression I was working on led me back to it. To have someone tell me, “When I die, I want you to have my CDs” would be the highest honor.”

Self-producing for the first time, Bad Bad Hats is a freewheeling and fully authentic expression of the band’s classic sound. This time they took their creativity to a new level with a little help from their mighty fanbase. In the Fall of 2020, songwriter Kerry Alexander (guitar/vocals) and Chris Hoge (guitar/bass) collected prompts from their active Patreon fanbase, writing one-off songs based on the requests. The untraditional process challenged the band to write songs of country, pop punk, surf rock, disco, and countless other genres and provided a joyful freedom to collaborate on new music during an otherwise very hard time.
Masters of simplicity, the band pairs unshakeable pop hooks with classic indie sounds and several unexpectedly funky turns. Their unique combination of up-beat and heartfelt songwriting has earned Bad Bad Hats acclaim from fans, critics and fellow artists. The latter of which have earned invitations to tour with peers like The Beths and Hippo Campus as well as storied acts like The Front Bottoms, Third Eye Blind and Michelle Branch, who picked them up for her 2022 headlining world tour. Bad Bad Hats played to enamored crowds at SXSW last week and will hit the road once again this Spring!
