The track is the exciting trio’s second release of 2024 following the release of ‘Anam Cara’
Over the last five years, exciting trio Gilda House have been successfully navigating and expanding a hybrid sound that melds alternative pop with modern rock with a cutting edge and aggressive charm that feels as unpredictable as it does exciting, and their brand new single ‘How Bad’ is just the latest showcase of their wholly unique and dynamic appeal.
Meg Gildehaus, Tony Morales and Nick Miles have always been adept at exploring their sound and distinctive ideas with a sense of freedom and identity that feels liberating, and the new single sees them celebrating prospering and flourishing, even when met with hatred and judgement from others. Their sound feels both abrasive and catchy throughout, creating this off-kilter juxtaposition that almost contradicts itself, such is the ambition and scope of their style, and it makes for a riveting and electric listening experience.
“I have been a people pleaser all my life.” Meg Gildehaus says of the new single. “Until I had this experience, I didn’t know how deeply committed I was to a suffocating identity of caring about being perceived as GOOD, being LIKED, getting GOOD GRADES, making everyone HAPPY, making everyone PROUD, doing THE RIGHT THING. That’s shattered now and I’m the best I’ve ever been in life and love… so if that’s bad, honestly asking, How Bad can bad be?”
