Badminton - 'Dare I Say'
WEATHER ALERT: A loud band from the East is tearing through the alt-rock scene—code orange at the very least!
What started as a light breeze from frontman Luca de la Haye’s attic has grown into a thunderstorm that will blow you right off your barstool. The four-piece—Luca, Stein, Chiquinho, and Lotte—found each other through side jobs, bars, and a healthy love for chaos. Together, they forge songs that sound like a night where you’ve had just a few too many beers: loud, honest, and double-edged.
Badminton writes about everything that makes adolescent life so delightfully complicated: finding and losing love, doubt, and growing up against your will. Pure therapy in the form of a mosh pit.
In short: Badminton is a musical storm you’ll want to stand in voluntarily, if only because it hits so hard.
Following the release of their debut EP ‘Ride the Wave’ (2025), these four ruffians are charging ahead with ‘Dare I Say’ (2026). It’s a record that grabs you greedily and won’t let go. With 7 tracks showcasing the contrasts of adolescence, they take you on a journey through manic highs and hungover lows.
Unlike their first record, which was created entirely by frontman Luca de la Haye, Badminton now brings a new sound: collective, authentic, and damn good!

Nomads Radio is a three-piece whirlwind of surf and garage punk, anchored by poppy hooks and lyrics that balance between personal anxieties and everyday
absurdities. Think of the raw, melodic songs of Ty Segall and the untamable energy of Osees.
