about

On their eponymous debut, the Dallas-based BAD STUFF (featuring members of the critically acclaimed True Widow) aims to deliver one of 2026's most engrossing and cinematic slow-burning rock records.

Bad Stuff is Dan Phillips (Guitar), Jackie Dunn Smith (Vocals, Synth), Nicole Estill (Vocals, Drums), Gabriel Spatz (Vocals, Maracas) and Laura Hartman Pearl (Bass).

As discussed, the collective began as two bands but became a single entity through the virtuosic guitar of Phillips (True Widow) and the programming and lyrics of Dunn Smith. The seeds for Bad Stuff were planted when a friend asked Phillips to start a residency at a Dallas-based lounge, thereby creating an instrumental band with a true crime bent called Latent Print. Those songs, built for a two-piece, would showcase his considerable rockabilly chops with Nicole Estill (also True Widow) sliding into the drum throne for the first time. Latent Print created several bespoke compositions for the residency as the band was slated to play on a weekly basis, but the COVID lockdown permanently ended those gigs. Fast forward a bit to the lockdown days and Phillips’s partner Dunn Smith revealed her work as Concord Kill– synth and drum machine driven tracks built on a four track. Once Phillips added his guitar and worked with Dunn Smith to tweak the songs of both bands, Bad Stuff was born.

Clocking in at 43 minutes, the LP mines the shadowy corners of goth rock, slowcore, rockabilly, and synth-driven pop across its ten tracks. On paper, that array of influences may seem incongruent, but it’s all reminiscent of early The Jesus & Mary Chain with the nihilism of The Cramps, urgency of The Birthday Party, icy calculation of Suicide, and the melancholic beauty of Mojave Three. And their convergence makes for a singular sound when tied together with Phillips’ iconic riffs– entrenched in melodic tendencies with a heavy hand on clean tones dripping with space echo.

Recorded in Dallas at Modern Electric Sound Recorders with Joel Raif & Jeff Saenz, Raif joined Phillips to produce, engineer and mix the effort with mastering handled by Jordan Richardson at Electric Barryland.
