If You Insist CD

The Bends started out playing cover sets at Louisiana bars and LSU frat parties before four members, Hayden Field, Ian Marmande, Jacob Rhodes, and Chase Perkins, picked up and moved the whole operation to Nashville. If You Insist is what came out the other side: a 12-track debut of fuzzed-out power chords and plainspoken lyrics about restlessness and growing up. "Smoking In Bed" made the Alternative Airplay chart, and "Makeup" caught on after Zach Bryan pushed it. They've since opened for The Killers and Inhaler and played Lollapalooza.
