BADLOVE was started by recording artist, Chris Sparks, as one of his first bands in the mid-90's. Chris grew up on guitar listening to Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Vai, Tesla, Mr. Big, Badlands, Lynch Mob, Dokken, Judas Priest, Ozzy, Faster Pussycat and Joe Satriani. He's combining all of his influences to create an updated blend of these great artists.
The Track Above Sounds Horrible :)
The track above is from the third performance of BADLOVE with the original singer. It was recorded on a video camera with an external mike, transferred to video tape, then to audio tape and finally to the computer. Thus, the sound is horrible! :) It's there just to give you an idea.
New Tracks
We will be uploading acoustic demos over the next month so you can hear the new songs Chris is writing for the first BADLOVE CD to be released in 2007! So, stay tuned for more information.
