Ontario-based quartet The Bandicoots have released their new single ‘Rocky Horror’. After self-releasing their first two EPs (‘This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things’ 2015 and ‘Quarters at the Penny-Arcade’ 2016), band members Nicolai Kozel (lead guitar), Andrew Parkinson (drums), Lorant Polya (bass) and Justin Ross (vocals/rhythm guitar) have quickly gained recognition in their hometown, finding themselves playing to sold out crowds. Their singles ‘Overnight Innovator’ and ‘Could You Get Me To Tomorrow?’ from their sophomore release, climbed CBC’s Radio 3 Top 30 chart for up to 7 weeks and even made CBC’s best of year-end list. The latter single came in just shy of 250k plays on Spotify since it’s release. Their quest to the top continues with new single ‘Rocky Horror’.
