🎞️Introducing: BAD SELF PORTRAITS

Indie rock that aches, ascends, and refuses to look away.

This Omaha-born band crafts cinematic confessionals—songs that shimmer, snarl, and speak the truth even when it stings. Now, they’re officially part of the Buy Before You Stream initiative, releasing their music the way it was meant to be experienced: through physical media first.

🌀Their new single “Pensive” drops July 11.

Ahead of a new album’s arrival on streaming platforms later this year, Bad Self Portraits will release limited 7-inch and 12-inch vinyl editions—because this isn’t just music you play. It’s music you hold onto!

Stay tuned for physical media that will be available to pre-order: buybeforeyoustream.com

More is coming soon from Bad Self Portraits. Keep an eye out!

“I’ll never forget the first time I saw my family’s music on sale, and we didn’t even have a copy ourselves. It was a wake-up call about how the system works. That kind of thing stays with you. It makes you realize how important it is to have control over your work, to own it, and to make sure you’re compensated fairly." - Rudy Love Jr., Rudy Love & The Encore

This isn’t just a memory—it’s a mirror reflecting the reality many artists face. When music becomes a commodity, artists often lose control over their creations and compensation.

This is why we say: Buy Before You Stream.

When you purchase music directly from an artist, you’re making sure they keep control of their work and build a future on their own terms. Plus you're building an authentic artist-to-fan connection!
