Bad Optix release new song ‘Raid’

BAD OPTIX have released a brand new song!

Titled Raid, it is the first song from the new project of Tim Armstrong and Jesse Michaels, their first venture together since the short-but-sweet run of OPERATION IVY (1987-1989). The song sees the duo joined by drummer Joey Castillo (CIRCLE JERKS, THE BRONX) and bassist Spencer Pollard (TRASH TALK) and kicks off the Hellcat Singles Club: a collection of new releases by a variety of bands curated by Armstrong and the Hellcat Records team.

Speaking about the the lyrical intent behind the song Michaels explains, “Raid is about every person’s spiritual autonomy from the powers that be, regardless of who they are or what their particular struggle is.”

On the creative process, Michaels adds “Like many of the tracks we have worked on, I heard the music and wrote the lyrics very quickly, almost on the spot. This was only the second song we did but it felt hot immediately and just flowed so we thought it would be a good way to introduce the new band to the world.”
