About Me

BAD INFLUENCE FORMED IN 2001. THE BAND WENT BY THE NAME ROCKET 88 UNTIL OCTOBER OF 2003 WHEN GUITARIST MIKE HOUGHTON LEFT THE BAND.CHANGING THE NAME TO BAD INFLUENCE HELPED TO SOLIDIFY THE ATTITUDE OF THE BAND WHILE KEEPING THE ENERGY OF A NEW PROJECT IN THE AIR.GOOD OLD FASHIONED HARD ROCK IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE BAD INFLUENCE FROM AC/DC TO WEEZER TO PRINCE OR TOM PETTY THIS BAND PUTS AN ORIGINAL, TALENTED TWIST ON THE BEST IN ROCK HISTORY.BAD INFLUENCE ALSO WRITE THEIR OWN BRAND OF ROCK. THE BAND'S ORIGINAL MATERIAL IS A HIGH ENERGY MIX OF ALL THEIR VARYING INFLUENCES WITH A MODERN FLAIR. BAD INFLUENCE WILL HAVE THEIR SONG "NEVER" FEATURED ON AN UNSIGNED BAND COMPILATION CALLED "DEPTH OF CONFESSIONS VOL 1" AVAILIBLE IN JULY FROM RED NIGHT RECORDs.
