Interview: Bad Seed Rising’s Louey Peraza discusses the band’s sudden success, touring w/He Is Legend

Baltimore, MD’s rockers Bad Seed Rising are part of a new breed of musicians that favor substance and maturity over anything else – though they still know how to have a good time. Being one of the youngest touring bands you’re likely to see anywhere, Bad Seed Rising have the poise and work ethic that people twice their age often lack, which is probably why the band’s success on their 2016 debut full-length Awake In Color isn’t surprising at all.

Of course, you have to have good music to pair with said work ethic, and Bad Seed Rising has it in spades. From the anthemic choruses of “Fighting Gravity” to the loud, aggressive punk energy of “Dexies”, the future is very bright indeed for the band. We talked to Bad Seed Rising’s bassist Louey Peraza about their tour with He Is Legend, experiencing success, and how to keep building a metaphorical empire in the music industry. Check it out below.
