South Wales alt-indie rock outfit The Fiends' new song "Bad Actor" dips into uncomfortable territory. The song is built around deception and betrayal, and the painful realization that someone has not been who they appeared to be. Written by all four members of The Fiends, the song turns that experience into its primary creative force.
The band, Ethan Goslett on vocals, Josh Albrighton on bass, Ben Quint on drums, and Ceulan Williams on guitar, pours a decidedly human experience into the new release. "Bad Actor" is about the kind of person who can fool you for a long time, playing along with life's game before showing their true colors. The emotional damage is already done by the time the truth comes out.
The songwriting keeps the focus on the emotional fallout of being led astray, grounding the track in an experience many listeners can relate to in their own way. The song explores the fallout of discovering that someone you trusted was playing a part all along, and shares writing duties with Goslett, Albrighton, Quint, and Williams.
