Bad Earth is hard rockin power trio from North Wales, mixing heavy riffs, thunderous beats and groovy bass.

Originally formed as a quintet back in January 2014, Bad Earth was the brain child of founding members Stephen Coxon and Ren Stefan, who were looking to explore their musical creativity after a period playing together in cover bands. Based in Denbigh, North Wales, the band performed there first show under the name Hard Lines. Labelled as a stoner rock band, they gained strong reviews from their local music scene after playing there second gig supporting US stoner giants Karma To Burn and going on to play many successful gigs after that.

In 2019, Stephen teamed up with Ben Burke (drums) and Karl Ditcher (bass) to form the current lineup of Bad Earth. Since then, the band have gone from strength to strength performing high profile gigs at Bloodstock Jager Stage, Bloodstock New Blood Stage, Sophiefest & Slammerfest Manchester, HRH Hammerfest Birmingham and supporting Soulfly, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, Breed 77, Black Spiders, Blaze Bailey and Dub War.

»Stitches« is the new album by Bad Earth.

It was late 2025 when the talk was moved on to recording and after considering going to a recording studio to record a 5 track EP, we realised our best option and the most cost effective one was to do all the recording in-house and send it off to be mixed and mastered, that way it seemed right to do a full album instead of another 5 track EP.

11 tracks of rockcore with massive riffs, groovy bass licks, thunderous beats and 3 way vocals, but not the Beach boys type!!!
