Bad Planning Sign To Jump Start Records & Announce New Album “Et Fortes”

Chicago’s Bad Planning have announced plans to release their new album, Et Fortes, in Spring 2022 via Jump Start Records. With a sound that encompasses equal amounts hardcore, emo, skate punk, and pop-punk, Bad Planning is a band that truly does things their own way. The newest recruits of Jump Start Records have been writing together since they were freshmen in high school. Now all these years later, the band is still booking their own shows, playing gigs with some of their favorite bands and making a name for themselves in the midwest.

The band writes with a sound that runs in the same vein as their fellow Chicago-based influences such as Rise Against, Alkaline Trio and The Lawrence Arms. In 2019 they released Splitting Hairs alongside Chicago band A Semester Abroad, bringing on a heavier side with the singles Be Brave and Actors. The band says, “This record represents a lot of growth for our band; past sound blending with new sound, and longtime bandmates with new ones. Writing this record gave us a sense of purpose during lockdown, and we can’t wait to share it. You’ll hear a wide range of influences and a sound the blurs the line between pop punk and melodic hardcore. These are songs about our lives in 2021.”
