At Bad Wolf Records, we have always emphasized that if you don't feel "weird" among society or if you feel like you fit in perfectly, you might not be creatively artistic enough to resonate with the tastes of our readers and audience.
Feral, for their part, is unafraid to express the feeling of disconnection that many of us experience when we feel apart from the rest since we were young. Their new single, "NaTuRaL BOrN L0SeR ¯(ツ)/¯", is a vibrant anthem that resonates not only with teenagers facing the indifference and disdain of their peers in college or university, but also with those who still feel lost in life to this day.
This talented band from Grenoble, France, consisting of Gwendal Pasquali on vocals, Walid Baba and Enzo Palmieri on guitars, Margot Chabuel on bass, and Antonie Noetinger on drums, has been waving the flag of pop-punk and alternative rock for some time now, not only keeping this musical style at the forefront but also infusing it with new sounds and a modern essence that keeps it alive.
"NaTuRaL BOrN L0SeR ¯(ツ)/¯", their latest release, skillfully dives into a narrative that reflects the complex reality of feeling trapped in disillusionment and the self-perception of being an "Innate loser." With electrifying guitar riffs, energetic percussion, and captivating lyrics, they portray an honest depiction of a person struggling with insecurity, anxiety, and the social pressure that many of us face daily, where their melodies manage to fill the emotional void left by the constant frustration of failure.
From a technical perspective, this new release successfully combines classic elements of 2000s pop-punk with a refreshing and innovative aura. The guitars are played with impeccable palm mute technique, complementing highly introspective and profound verses, alongside energetic choruses that feel like a true anthem where the vocals feature a subtle yet elegant Auto-Tune effect. "NaTuRaL BOrN L0SeR ¯_(ツ)_/¯" is simply a masterful composition, one that fans of iconic bands from the past decade, such as blink-182, as well as new generations of listeners like MGK and Yungblud, will equally enjoy.
Released on September 6, 2024, and serving as a direct follow-up to their EP "Blessed With Curse," "NaTuRaL BOrN L0SeR ¯_(ツ)_/¯" has already garnered over 2,300 streams and hundreds of monthly listeners on Spotify, establishing itself as their fourth official release within their incredible discography, which we definitely invite you to explore.

The distinctive sound and unique fusion of styles that this great band has managed to create will undoubtedly lead them to imminent success, and it's only a matter of time before their path to stardom takes a shortcut, making them one of the most prominent bands in today’s music scene.
Feral declares that their mission is clear and concise: "To push the boundaries of the genre and cement their place in the independent scene," something they are already achieving with each of their releases. Their bold and evident engagement with the audience not only challenges the conventions of the genre but also resonates deeply in the hearts of their listeners.
