Electro-Pop Trio Not The Main Characters Channel The Powerpuff Girls For Explosive New Single “Bad Things”

Edited press release:

Eectronic-pop trio NOT THE MAIN CHARACTERS return with their latest single “bad things.” Equal parts Powerpuff Girls and hyper-pop, the trio share a diabolical and electrifying tune that gives listeners a glimpse into their personalities ahead of their upcoming debut EP Bad Things Come in 3’s, out May 20th.

“bad things” opens with NOT THE MAIN CHARACTERS’ own cleverly distorted version of “The Powerpuff Girls” introduction. Whereas The Powerpuff Girls were created using sugar, spice, and everything nice, NOT THE MAIN CHARACTERS say that their group was created from “chaos, vices, and an existential crisis” making them the “perfect little trainwrecks.” The Powerpuff Girls references abound throughout the rest of the track, which is grungy, grimy, and playful. “bad things” is a testament to NOT THE MAIN CHARACTERS’ success at finding cohesion as a group while still maintaining their own individuality.

NOT THE MAIN CHARACTERS share this about their new single:

“The opening track of our EP, ‘bad things,’ is the song where we get to introduce ourselves as individuals. The three of us have very distinct personalities and want that to come across in our music. Starting out with our own take on the spoken Powerpuff intro, we invite listeners to take part in the dichotomy of being a baddie but also low key a mess. The three of us truly do embody chaos, vices, and many existential crises, so it made sense to have those be the ingredients in our metaphorical Powerpuff style birth, as well as the fact that those are the overarching topics of the EP. Being able to write about concepts like these in our biting-yet-lighthearted way is the reason we started NTMC in the first place, and we feel that this song demonstrates us coming into our own as artists.”
