Bad Optics is a Seattle-born art-punk act that emerged in 2018, known for blending aggressive, stripped-back post-punk energy with post-structuralist lyricism and the occasional 'shamewave' aesthetic. The band’s sound sits at the intersection of cinematic guitars, propulsive rhythms, and provocative, thought-provoking storytelling. If you’re looking for a live act that delivers both intensity and intellect, Bad Optics is your pick.
