Harry Bodley-Scott – Bad Dancing

If you’re looking for a high-energy rock anthem that’s guaranteed to get your blood pumping and your feet tapping, look no further than “Bad Dancing” by Harry Bodley-Scott. This infectious track is an absolute blast from start to finish, with catchy guitar riffs and soaring tenor vocals that are impossible not to sing along to.

What really sets “Bad Dancing” apart, though, is Bodley-Scott’s undeniable charisma and charm. His vocals are infused with a playful, almost mischievous energy that makes the track feel like a celebration of life and all its little imperfections. And while some singers might shy away from their flaws, Bodley-Scott leans into them with an unapologetic spirit that’s truly refreshing.

Of course, none of this would matter if the music itself wasn’t up to snuff. Fortunately, “Bad Dancing” delivers in spades on that front as well.

Meanwhile, the percussion keeps things moving along at a steady clip, with a satisfying thump that anchors the track and gives it real weight.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the genre or just looking for something fun and upbeat to listen to, this track is an absolute must-hear. So turn up the volume, grab a partner (or not!), and get ready to dance like nobody’s watching!

Harry Bodley-Scott offers solidary to anyone locked in a cycle of unhealthy idealisation with ‘Instagram’

Harry Bodley-Scott tends lyrically delve deeper than most singer-songwriters, the London-residing artist’s latest indie-pop single, ‘Instagram’, is the perfect example.

While it is no revelation that social media can be an alienating toxic cesspit, the evocative indie pop rap vocals paint a poignant picture of just how unhealthy being locked in a cycle of idealisation can be. Whether you feel empathy or solidarity, you’re sure to feel something while lyrical blows such as ‘I’m in love you, but you’re just a fucking idea now’ hit.

The sparsely accordant instrumentals leave plenty of room for the vulnerability and honesty for Harry Bodley-Scott’s vocals to lure you into the progressive single which may have started in the archetypal acoustic pop genre, but as the track grooves towards the outro, you’ll start to pick up on reminiscences to the likes of the 1975.

Instagram officially released on February 26th; you can hear it for yourselves via SoundCloud.

Prepare Your Indie Folk Playlists for Harry Bodley-Scott’s Latest Single “Man Like Me”

Man Like Me” was the first single to be released from Indie Folk singer-songwriter Harry Bodley-Scott’s debut EP “Hoping for a Sunrise”. If festivals were happening this year, Man Like Me is exactly the kind of track you’d hope to be soaking up under the Summer sun.

Fans of Noah and the Whale, Mumford & Sons, Bon Iver and the Lumineers will definitely want to hit play on the stunningly crafted single. Similarities aside, Harry Bodley-Scott’s standout single boasts a striking amount of amorous distinction.

Through the candidly poetic lyrics and the intricately layered Indie Folk instrumental arrangement which is led by angularly absorbing riffs, it’s safe to say a radio-ready earworm was created with Man Like Me.

You can check out Man Like Me with the rest of Harry Bodley-Scott’s EP Hoping for a Sunrise via Spotify.
