New Bad Things

New Bad Things were an American indie rock band from Portland, Oregon founded in 1992 by Matthew "Hattie" Hein, Luke Hollywood, "Prince" Mattie Gaunt, Jasin Fell and Dave French, who first performed at a one-off opening set at a Sebadoh concert in Portland. The band released four albums, the last in 1997 and according to wikipedia changed their name to No Bad Things in 2001, although there doesn't seem to be any evidence of that on the world wide web.

Links To Peel
Peel seemed to have picked up an import of their debut Concrete single in the summer of 1993 and on his 25 December 1993 show claimed that he was unable to obtain another copy of the single, despite people offering  'daft amount of money' for it. Peel only played the track 'I Suck' from their Concrete single and would often mistakenly call it 'You Suck'. The track later entered at the 1993 Festive Fifty and Peel's own Peelenium for 1993. The band performed two sessions for Peel's show in the mid-90's, when they were touring Europe.
