The band joked and entertained everyone with this fake accident post. The whole group of Bad Things used to vibe together. They played their first song in New York City on July 11, 2013. They were so famous that Lallapolooza replaced them with Death Grips on the Saturday slot in August 2013.
Their first digital single, ‘Anybody,’ was released in August 2013. Then they released the whole album, which included twelve tracks with two iTunes exclusive bonus tracks. On 2015 April 29, David LeDuke made an announcement that saddened the Band Things fans.
