The Bad Actors are back with their latest single, “My Motorola” and this one is packed with everything we love about them. Known for their high-energy vibe and tight musicianship, the Sheffield duo once again delivers a track that’s both fun and sharp.
“My Motorola” stands out with its fiery funk-rock riff and catchy chorus that’s impossible not to move along with. The drum work is on point, giving the song a lively pulse, while the guitar licks keep things bold and exciting. The production feels polished, the mixing is excellent and every instrument finds its place perfectly. The song takes a playful spin on the classic story of a first crush, a semi-autobiographical tale filled with early 2000s vibes. The vocals are full of character and power, making the song memorable from the first listen.
With this single, The Bad Actors show off not only their impressive musical skills but also their ability to craft songs that are fun, relatable and full of personality. It’s a fresh taste of what’s coming from their upcoming EP and we’re already excited for it. This is one of those tracks that people will have on repeat all summer. It’s catchy, bold, and shows The Bad Actors doing what they do best, making music that’s as energetic as their stage shows.
ABOUT THE DUO:
The Bad Actors, an electric new outfit here to bathe your mundane routine in a bright orange glow. Funky indie tunes meet devil-may-care rock. Red Hot Chill Peppers, The Police and Jimi Hendrix are found influencing pounding beats, expressive guitar lines and pop-y ear-worm melodies. Scissor-kicks and stage tricks are the MO of “kinetic” frontman Khalil. His voltaic stage presence helped win slots at Isle of Wight, Hillsborough festival, and a Riverside festival headline with previous projects. Whilst Jay’s laid-back drumming, matching his own personality in feel but not in introversion, forms the springboard for Khalil’s antics. The Bad Actors’ energetic social media videos reach an average of 10K viewers per clip and found 250K individual instagram accounts in June ‘24. The duo became friends at school when Khalil told Jay he needed a drummer. Jay obliged, learned drums and joined the band. Down-to-Earth, indie-punk songwriting saw them named in BBC Introducing Sheffield’s best of 2014 list. Fast forward a decade and the punk roots are ever-present but are seeded in a bed of groove and melody. Songs wrap themes of infidelity, homelessness and existential longing in neat 3 minute packages. But catchy hooks will have you singing along before you realise the gravity. The Bad Actors are here for a good time. The music is energetic, the message is bright. They’ve already begun painting the town orange and do not intend to stop.
