Issue #313 (Awards 2024 - Bad Omens & Poppy)

Bad Omens & Poppy are the winners of the 2024 Rock Sound Award for Song Of The Year!

A metalcore banger that flits between industrial breakdowns and pop hooks at a breakneck pace across the space of four and half minutes, ‘V.A.N.’ is Bad Omens most striking and experimental moment yet. With Poppy taking on lead vocals and perfectly personifying the unforgettable title character, it allowed the band to welcome fans further into their ‘Concrete Jungle’ world, while taking on increasingly relevant themes of AI dominance and technology fatigue. Noah Sebastian and Poppy talk us through the development of the collaboration and their musical and visual influences as they accept their well-deserved award.
