In 2021, Thomas took the four tracks to Orb Recording Studios in Austin, Tx and worked with Blue October bassist Matt Noveskey and engineer Victor Gaspar. The tracks would release later that year. In late 2021, Thomas added Haddad and King to the band and the rest is history. The band has since released 3 singles, expanding on the Bad Lives sound. Bad Lives is currently working on releasing their first compilation album and is hitting the stage all over north Texas.
