After taking a trip down memory lane earlier in the year with “In The Clouds“, Melbourne-based alternative rock outfit Bad Juju is back and better than ever with a tongue-in-cheek ode to the dark side of life with a new single, “American Halloween“. Bad Juju channels their love for catchy hooks, big riffs and classic popcorn horror movies into a self-assuring anthem that commands listeners to bring out their weirder side.

The band disclosed their new single was inspired by the band’s love of cheesy American slasher films. “American Halloween” is a nostalgic grunge thumper about embracing your weird side and learning to proudly let your freak flag fly. “Halloween has always been a time to express that side of ourselves” reflects vocalist Russell Holland. “This song is about being comfortable with who you are, and caring less about what people think and letting the freak out, and what better place to do it than an American-style Halloween”. 

To celebrate, Bad Juju has announced they will be gracing the stage on Saturday, December 18 at Melbourne’s Stay Gold to launch both singles “In The Clouds” and “American Halloween“. Joining Bad Juju on ‘The Year From Hell’ show is Bukowski, Plovers and Rex Dante. Tickets are available via Oztix.
