“Bad Ideas are a band that very obviously has plans and ambitions, there is a real class to the four songs, and a variety of sound that elevates this above the mundane. This a band with potential and make no mistake about it.”

“This is an EP full of beautifully constructed, relaxing and gentle melodies and delicately sorrowful lyrics- It is easy to get lost in the tantric blend of melodic riffs and soft vocals that it has to offer.”

"Bad Ideas are one of those bands that it’s almost impossible to pigeon hole, in a really good way."

"Its clear The Better Parts Of You doesn’t try to be anything its not. It combines folk and punk, with an overall indie vibe in a way that’s extremely accessible and not easy to listen to, but a pleasure to listen to. Bad Ideas, we think you need to change your band name."

"It's definitely a GOOD idea to listen to the awesome new Bad Ideas track!"

"A handsome slice of indie-rock with a Joyce Manor style swagger to it as it breaks down into some really nice sections of bending guitar work. ‘Clumsy Hands’ follows a similar formula and has a very refreshingly British sound about it, which is nice given that it is so easy for many bands to fall in the trap of sounding like our transatlantic cousins. Not that there is anything wrong with that at all, but it adds to certain honesty to the music hearing a British indie influence shine through."
