Bad Bad Hats is an indie rock band hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, known for their sharp-witted lyrics and catchy melodies. The trio, consisting of Kerry Alexander (vocals, guitar), Chris Hoge (drums), and Noah Boswell (bass), formed in 2012 and quickly made a name for themselves in the local scene with their refreshingly earnest approach to songwriting and live performances. Alexander's narrative storytelling and the band’s effortless blend of pop, rock, and folk elements have earned them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim.

The band's discography captures a journey of emotional authenticity and sonic exploration, showcasing their growth and versatility. With notable releases like "It Hurts (10th Anniversary Edition)," highlighting a decade of their celebrated single, to the introspective storytelling in tracks like "Sally Sweet Tooth" and the energetically infectious "Walkman," Bad Bad Hats continues to innovate within their genre. They've made waves with their thoughtfully produced studio albums and maintain a strong presence with live recordings such as "The Wild Honey Pie Buzzsession." As they experiment with acoustic and stripped-down versions, like "Automatic (Piano Version)," Bad Bad Hats demonstrate their ability to create an intimate experience for listeners, even through recorded formats.
