Featuring ex-members of Miracle Chosuke, the Bad Dudes play prog-rock to the max. Their mathematics plot algorithms and triangulate the precise latitude and longitude of your ass, just so that they can kick it. These Basketball fanatics can sure show you a good time. Impressive dueling guitars, keys a la Zepplin, rawkus bass, and one of the best drummers we've ever seen.

"...this is not a traditional prog record. It does, however, have elements of prog and plays with the genre. In a time when so many bands have rediscovered the joy of Casiotones, Moogs and all things synth, it’s nice to hear something a little different breathed into this over-used instrument. Bad Dudes, on their debut full-length album on One Cell/Brain Burger records, explores various influences to make a solid, eclectic record. Danceable at times, heavy at others, this record runs the gamut of the average indie rock sensibility. Track seven, titled “Animatronic Tito Puente,” is one of the more interesting songs on the album. Heavy synth beats played in a purely chaotic form come together to form a spastic-to-calm-to-spastic blissful mess." -- Jordan Friedman of KSPC 88.7FM

"Bad Dudes offer up two schizoid, hyperactive, brief compositions that jump all over the place, from sequenced grandeur to airtight math stop-on-a-dimery to heavily processed guitar/prog shred mayhem. Like their namesake, they could be scoring the music to videogames, and seem to have the attention span of those who spent their entire childhood playing them. Still, they’ve got a lot of ideas, and they don’t wear their welcome out." -- Dusted Magazine

"Even if it can't compare to their raucous live show, the Bad Dudes recording (best band in Los Angeles, hands down) is fucking rad. Its impeccably composed new-wave video-game soundtracks are stuffed to the gills with hooks and harmonized fills, often delivered in hyperspeed bursts of syncopated fury. The album is expertly paced, too, alternating instrumental and vocal songs, slower and faster material, and wisely intermingling the many perfect tracks with the merely brilliant ones. Make sure you've stretched and warmed up your voice before spinning it, 'cause you're gonna want to jump around and yell." -- Etan Rosenburg, Prefix Magazine
