Band Members: The Bad Spells were born when guitarist/vocalist Russell Hughes and bassist/vocalist Max Hinojosa moved to New York from Austin, TX. They ultimately met drummer Angelo Merendino and the line-up was solidified. The Bad Spells hit the NYC scene hard, creating a buzz and leaving their mark where ever they performed. Influenced by such greats as The Beatles, Dylan, Costello, Morrissey and Zeppelin, The Bad Spells have fashioned a Bravado-Pop style filled with compelling and intelligent lyrics, super-catchy hooks, hip-shaking grooves and muscular playing. Think of The Bad Spells as ear candy that bites you back. A hot act to catch in NYC, The Bad Spells have built a strong following by playing clubs like Arlene’s Grocery, The Living Room, Kenny’s Castaways, The Knitting Factory and the now defunct CBGB’s. The boys are currently in the studio putting the finishing touches on their soon to be released debut CD. “The Bad Spells are a fresh burst of energy…a driving, rocking, balls-out band!!!! They are the real deal!â€â€“ Maria Kenny, Owner of The Legendary Kenny’s Castaways – NYC
