You Should Know: Bad News Bears

Combine Hellogoodbye, PlayRadioPlay!, and all 17 members of Forever the Sickest Kids. Take the very best that all of them have to offer, blend, and you have Bad News Bears, aka Mike Sacchetti and Jack Winter.

In their latest '09 Sampler, Bad News Bears take a step toward powerpop maturity and trade in most of the bleepy-bloopy dance beats for a more pop/rock synth scene. In short: it works. Bad News Bears was one step away from winning a legit deal with Epitaph via MTV's Best Music on Campus.

For some awesome reason, my embedding isn't working so check out Bad News Bears Myspace and take a listen to two poperific songs off the '09 Sampler, "Sleepless But Not In Seattle" and "It's No Secret". And be on the lookout for a winter tour date near you!

    this is awesome.

    hi, i'm mike sacchetti from bad news bears.
    i came across this blog in the most random way and i am glad i stumbled upon it, it really made my shitty day better!

    i am actually finished my new EP and i really think it is going to surprise some people. this could get me the attention i need and most of all really get my name out there. the two songs that were on the '09 sampler were re-recorded and they sound great. i have added a lot more depth to this EP then i anticipated and i couldn't be anymore happy with the results.

    i would love to get in contact with you and give you a preview of the EP when it is finished. feel free to contact me at badnewsbearspa.music@gmail.com.

    thanks again for posting this on your blog and informing the public. it truly does mean a lot to me and gives me a reason to believe in what i am doing.

    much love,
    mike
