Everything that bothered you about what wasn’t being done, or the good that had been done before but was forgot, suddenly annoys you about this music because it’s not you doing it but it should be. Please or destroy what you can’t employ.

We infuse punk blues metal with an attitude that may rub some people up the wrong way but remains an honest attack and worthy placement in the idea of rock n roll unconformity.

Sick and tired of all the petty conflicting differences between musical styles that bands have to battle everyday we bring it all together with something that can only be defined as real apocalyptic rock with an uncompromising positive edge.

This band will not rip off as a design to encapsulate fads to fit in unlike most of the crap that creeps in as a novelty when rock has rejuvenated itself in the eyes of the masses.

At the minute everything should be up and running and very much new. Look around and see what you think!

Head over to the guestbook and leave a comment fer a bit of craic. It's up there in the 'contact' section - or here, if yer feelin' lazy!

Our album 'Blues gone black' is available to buy! Check out an HMV near you for your Bad Boat fix!

Northern Irish band Bad Boat has been playing their wreck of rock to appreciative audiences and putting out well-received original recordings since 2003.
In their music, people say they have heard bands like Mastodon, Clutch, Melvins, Kyuss, Fu Manchu, Cathedral, MC5, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden.
There are indeed a variety of styles celebrated in each song and a prevailing positivity in the progressive aspect of their growing soundscape.
There are some straightforward rock anthems in a classic heavy 70’s sound with an underlying punk and metal edge. There are also some groove laden doom and sludge journeys that would crop up now and then but they all sit well with Bad Boat’s definitive songwriting prowess.
The vocals range from clean howling and growling to harmonies and gruff narrative often with influences from Ozzy, Waits, Rollins, Cornell and some death metal artists.
Their debut album ‘Blues Gone Black’ explores a history of rock and metal by their interpretation through familiarity yet at times can be naturally challenging and inventive.
We hope to bring our titanic tunes to as many ears possible in the near future with new releases and shows whenever wherever we can.
