Biography

Formed in 2016 by four friends in Washington, DC, Bacchae (pronounced BOCK-eye), make music with no assumptions about what a punk band should sound like. Underneath a careful balance of attitude and ambivalence, the quartet embraces heavy guitar riffs alongside bouncy pop melodies and rage-filled exclamations. On their LP, “Pleasure Vision”, released on Get Better Records in March 2020, brooding synth-driven pop sits alongside prickly, fast-paced punk and spooky post-punk sounds. Sometimes blending all of those attributes in a single song. Whether the band is exploring the pain of a doomed relationship or the push and pull of disgust and desire while shopping online, what carries through it all is a sense of uncertainty, dissolution and dread.
