BADMINTON are a Sad-Pop band based in Leeds, creating melodic and rhythmically ardent songs with influences that range from 90s Midwest Emo, Electro-pop and Latin music into their sound.
The three-piece, consisting of singer guitarist Robbie Tooth, guitarist Dominic Marshall, and drummer Tom McAndrew, started out as Robbie’s bedroom project, before Dominic and Tom joined to help record. The sessions went so well, that Tom made the drastic relocation from Bristol to Leeds and the group was cemented.
Dipping their feet in the water, they released two stand-alone singles, which garnered support straight away from BBC Introducing. BADMINTON with this confidence boost behind them, started developing their live shows playing across the North, with their first show at the Lending Room, where Alt J coincidently also played their first ever gig.
Recent support slots include Fickle Friends, Marsicans, and Dirty Hit Records' own King Nun.
BADMINTON are a band that create moments in songs through their finely tuned vocal harmonies to make a room of any size feel as big or small as they want.
