Up & Coming Bands: Budge

Budge: Mystery Band Has LOTS Of Potential

Not much is known about Nashville-based Indie band, Budge. A Google search may give results including Budget Rental Car in Nashville, or the metal band Budgie, who formed in the late 60s, but very little about this new band itself. Budge’s lack of even a basic press kit makes it kind of hard to write about them, but the energy presented in their one single, Breathe, gives us the impression that once they sort out their marketing, they may be a force to be reckoned with in the Nashville area, and perhaps beyond.

What we do know about Budge is that their lead guitarist is Jackson Berra, and (According to their only performance footage, seen below) the lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist is possibly named Jessie.

Breathe shows potential as a really good Indie single. It has all the elements of energy, jangly guitars, and solid vocals, along with decent enough production that it doesn’t sound like it was recorded in someone’s bedroom or garage. I mean, it may very well be have been recorded in a bedroom or garage, but it most certainly doesn’t sound like it! Either way, we’ve included the single in our new music lineup on Blank Generation Radio.

Their only performance footage is pretty loose and informal, as if they’re playing to a small but friendly crowd at a club called Tidballs. However they know how to synergize and bring their songs to life. Here’s hoping we hear more from them, or at least get an eventual bio!
