A product of high school and college friendships, Bad Self Portraits write indie-rock songs that tackle the uncertainties of growing up and finding stability. Unapologetic, honest lyrics live at the forefront of their guitar-driven tracks and serve as an ode to learning how to (sometimes unsuccessfully) navigate change as a twenty-something. The band was formed in 2017 in Omaha, Nebraska, and released their latest EP, “Amsterdam”, in December 2023.

Bad Self Portraits is: Ingrid Howell (vocals/bass), Cole Kempcke (guitar), Connor Paintin (guitar/keys), and Jesse White (drums/vocals).
