Epitaph 

Bad Suns is an American indie rock band formed in 2012. Hailing from Los Angeles, California, the band consists of Christo Bowman (vocals), Ray Libby (guitar), Gavin Bennett (bass), and Miles Morris (drums). With their infectious blend of catchy melodies and introspective lyrics, Bad Suns has quickly gained a dedicated fanbase.
Their debut album "Language & Perspective" was released in 2014, featuring hit singles like "Cardiac Arrest" and "Salt." Since then, they have continued to captivate audiences with their energetic live performances and thought-provoking music.
Known for their unique sound that combines elements of alternative rock, new wave, and post-punk revival, Bad Suns draws inspiration from bands like The Cure and The Police. Their music seamlessly blends nostalgic vibes with a modern twist, creating a sound that is both familiar and fresh.

The third full-length from L.A. band Bad Suns, Mystic Truth gets its title from a piece of art that vocalist Christo Bowman stumbled upon while visiting London’s Tate Modern on tour. Created by Bruce Nauman in 1967, the neon-and-glass piece spells out a possibly paradoxical statement in blue spiraled cursive: “The True Artist Helps the World by Revealing Mystic Truths.” “I thought that connected back to the message of the record, which is about finding the extraordinary in very simple things, even though we’re living in a very dark time right now,” says Bowman, whose bandmates include guitarist Ray Libby, bassist Gavin Bennett, and drummer Miles Morris. “Instead of succumbing to that darkness, I think you’ve got to try to hold onto some optimism, and try to uncover those simple miracles so you don’t lose the plot of what’s really important.” Right from the album-opening “Away We Go,” Bad Suns reveal the timeless sensibilities at the heart of Mystic Truth. With its soaring vocals, majestic piano melodies, and fiery guitar tones, the song unfolds as a brightly anthemic battle cry. “‘Away We Go’ was mostly inspired by us growing up and really being adults for the first time, and trying to make sense of all that,” says Bowman, who co-founded Bad Suns at age 17. “It’s about learning how to make decisions for yourself, and sometimes just going for something and blindly trusting that it’s going to work out.”
