Badflower’s show at House of Blues on February 22 was intense in the best way. They opened with “Number 1” and the energy in the room was already high. Songs like “30,” “Animal,” and “Heroin” sounded even heavier live and the band kept the momentum going the whole time. Josh Katz’s vocals really stood out and felt raw and emotional in a way that fits their music perfectly.
The middle of the set got some of the biggest reactions from the crowd. “Let the Band Play” and “The Jester” had a lot of people singing along, and when they played “Ghost” the whole place lit up. It felt like one of those moments where everyone in the room knew every word and was completely locked into the performance.
They came back for an encore that wrapped the night up well. “No Place Like Home” and “London” kept the energy up and closing with “Swinging Hammer” was a strong way to end the night. It was a really solid show and the band sounded great live.
