"...their sound vaguely emulates the sort of music heard in a lonely whiskey joint alongside a desolate desert highway in antiquity... they move between dark, slow, and swarthy rock to more upbeat music without compromising versatility"
~ Martin Sattell ~ Northeast Performer
"This trio sounds like a jangled western ghost tale wallowing in reverb and cheap red wine. It makes sense since they started out in Denver but have since transplanted to Providence and New York City. For the purposes of a comparison, the band they remind me most of is a ’90s noisy yet bluesy band called Gallon Drunk. Badman's universe sounds like it's littered with fallen heroes and methadone ridden debutants convalescing in that dead point in the night around 3:30 a.m. Catchy blues from afterworld that keeps scratching at the door to get back. Don't be afraid to let them in."

"... Badman adds an element of western brooding to the local scene, one that makes for rapt listening. While the band is currently spread out throughout the northeast corridor, we’re hoping the trio of Tyler Hayden, Alec Tisdale, and Andrew States manage to lasso their killer cowboy vibe and rope it in for all it’s worth."
~ Bob Gulla ~ The Providence Phoenix
"The trio trades in what they call Gothic Western. Ken Johnson from Carrigan further elucidates, describing their sound as "Morphine meets The Cramps with The Dead Kennedys and NoMeansNo." I can definately hear the Morphine thing, but Badman are a little heavier and more rockin'. I'm thinking Nick Cave playing Led Zeppelin covers in an episode of "Twin Peaks."... Genres be damned, Badman have a pretty compelling sound. At least what I've heard, anyway..."
