Yet another bold release from brand new artist BADSQUATCH, the third
single from his upcoming album (due in late 2026) embodies the word
”bold” in the song’s name alone. Now he’s dropping a monstrously heavy
track, simply titled “FCK”, directly after the light-hearted second single that
was a fun and groovy 80’s workout tune.

It’s getting more and more obvious that this artist doesn’t play by the rules
that the industry has long been calling for: consistent sound and
easy-to-swallow material. Instead, this new release is once again
completely removed and different from the first two, with huge sounding
guitars, dark and thundering basslines complementing brooding drums,
and a rock vocal performance that truly digs deep with not only timbre and
delivery, but also an honest vulnerability.

This song, with its connotations toward an expletive for a title, ironically,
does not contain a single explicit word in the lyrics aside from the allusion
in the name of the piece itself. Instead, the words craft a picture of the
gut-wrenching moment one feels their heart fully break.

This text of such a powerful yet dreaded moment in life is painted with
music sounding reminiscent of alarms and panic going off inside the head
and heart. The guitars sweep from ear to ear in the mix, utilizing whammy
and wah pedals to create a really eerie baseline before things come
crashing in with the frantic energy of heavier and heavier riffs. All of this
sets the stage for the big man to belt out a story about his experience and
relationship with pain itself.

Considering the title of this song along with the full picture of the music
and lyrics, this next release helps illuminate just a little more of this
curious, new artist. BADSQUATCH seems to be carefully orchestrating
which songs he’s sharing with us first, pushing the envelope of industry
norms in modern release strategies, addressing uncomfortable subjects
once again, and sharing what appears to be deeply personal moments in
genre-defying aural statements. When asked about his inspirations behind
the music, BADSQUATCH’s usual reply is that he’s simply sharing his
experiences on the very personal journey that is discovering what it actually means to be human, and there's nothing more human than heartbreak.

BADSQUATCH is an American singer/songwriter/producer based in the Midwest. A big man with a big voice, BADSQUATCH is an artist with one overwhelming presence. Adopting such a moniker would suggest nothing less, though along with the rough and gruff appearance, the music that comes out of this massive human ranges from soft and pensive acoustic tunes to bold and abrasive alt rock bangers. The material he creates generally addresses a large range of gritty subjects that are inspired by his own journey of self-discovery and what it truly means to be human.

One may recognize BADSQUATCH from his work as the frontsquatch of midwestern dystopian party rock trio The Party After, who recently released their powerhouse album Dopamine Machine in July 2025. During the recording process for the album, BADSQUATCH also wrote and recorded a large amount of material that didn’t fit the picture for the band, so he is deciding to reach into his personal archives and begin releasing music as a solo artist.

His first single, out February 20th, is a dark and brooding song broaching the subject of self-loathing with inspirations from alternative and industrial artists alike. This release, titled “Such a Burden”, is the first from a collection of songs that BADSQUATCH is considering a concept album/mental health piece rooted in subjects of shadow work and addressing the darker parts of oneself, all with a goal of awareness, healing, and growing into our potentials in this unique human experience.

"To dig deep into the music to come, much like the healing process, we must first start with addressing the darkness and the shadows that are difficult to own," says Badsquatch.

Badsquatch has officially signed with new management under Pamela Parks at Headity.com. Stay tuned — strategic moves, fresh momentum, and powerful next steps are in motion.
