Bad Tractor’s ‘Inland Sea’ Captures Rural Life And Threats To Its Existence

On their new album Inland Sea, Bad Tractor fuses Country, Punk and Psychedelic elements. Hailing from the wilds of eastern Ontario, the band like to be a reflection of their surroundings, with the eight songs on Inland Sea “capturing the beauty of rural life, while also highlighting the threats to its existence.” It arrives on November 8th, 2024.

Inland Sea is the follow-up to Bad Tractor’s 2018 debut album Blessington, and displays the evolution of the band’s primary songwriters Tim Hadley and Ian McKendry, as well as the band’s growth as live performers. The others splitting duties are keyboardist/vocalist Alexandra Bell and drummer Nathan Mahaffy, with bassist Corey Rump rounding out Bad Tractor’s current line-up.

Bad Tractor have a philosophy of “building its audience one small-town gig at a time.” It’s resulted in a dynamic live show which includes covers of other songs by various Canadian songwriters, and instrumental sequences.
