Forged in the industrial hub of Digbeth, Garage punk at it’s finest tied together with a healthy dose of psychedilia, Bad Girlfriend have charmed their way into the heart of the Birmingham music scene, making them the most must see live band in the region. Holding their own with the best live acts around (God Damn, The Chats, Youth Man, The Murder Capital, Table Scraps, Shame, Dune Rats & DZ DEATHRAYS) Described as “Heavy garage rock band fronted by Birmingham’s own answer to Henry Rollins, Connor Hemming. Channelling the raw power of The Stooges you won’t want to miss seeing this band live!”

"One of the most wild, unpredictable and exciting bands to step out of Birmingham ...Somehow, Bad Girlfriend manage to combine psychedelia, heavy guitars and loud, relentless vocals and even some bluesy elements and make it work. Their upcoming third EP is definitely one to watch." Brum Radio

“Heavy garage rock band fronted by The guitarist is playing like a demon, at the very lip of the stage, on the floor, pretty much wherever he feels like. They play like Ramones but rawer, it’s great. ” – Fighting Boredom ([http://www.fighting-boredom.co.uk/live-review/sunshine-frisbee-laserbeam-album-launch-all-dayer-birmingham-live-review/]

"Bad Girlfriend frontman Connor Hemming is a gig photographer’s wettest dream. Like an ADHD kid on Pro Plus, he beats himself in the head, grips innocent onlookers by the scruff and forces ‘em to the frontline. “Hi, we’re called Peace,” he ejaculates, before tonguing the microphone, lurching forward and catching his headstock on a girl’s dress, unfortunately coming loose. Wicked-as-f**k fast-chord-punk naturally suits Hemming having a seizure on the floor, but without the music this performance would be hilariously illegal. After using humans as mic stands and throwing cider on a vexed-turned-applauding crowd, it’s clear that Connor Hemming would make a dreadful, quarrelsome and revolting girlfriend."(Guy Hirst Brum Notes Magazine)

"Not even one song into Bad Girlfriend’s set frontmaniac Connor Hemming was doing backward rolls around the floor. Shaking his ass in the air (’cause he just don’t care), busting the microphone stand, and spending as much time power-sliding to his knees as he did screeching his way through the group’s songs, the band’s cataclysmic performance isn’t one anyone who witnesses it will forget." (Jess Goodman Counteract Magazine)

"Bad Girlfriend are completely different. Like a deranged panther, Connor Hemming stalks around the space between the stage and the crowd, encouraging people to move forward and become part of the assault. Less songs and more fits and bursts of unadulterated noise and primal energy, he prowls the room, backed by bass and drums, sensing fear and latching onto it, with his guitar fettering him to the music" (Andrew Gutteridge Brum Notes)
