Daniel (Bad Sports)
SPB: Who is the best band in Denton right now?
Daniel: The answer is obvious, Bad Sports. In fact, if you asked me who the best band in the world is, the answer would be Bad Sports. There's none better, none greater, and none better looking.

It’s largely about where they kick the extra energy into their songs that sets them apart, and it’s usually got a bit of swagger when they do kick.“Gains and Losses” is a really good … Read more
