For rock and metal fans, the <strong>Download Festival<\/strong> is the highlight of their summer. From top to bottom, the lineup is already stacked with massive names, exciting newcomers and pretty much everything in between.<\/p>\n<p>For some, like headliners Def Leppard and Slipknot, they&#8217;ve made Donington Park their second home. While for the likes of Southern California rockers <strong>Badflower<\/strong>, they&#8217;ll be making their <strong>Download Festival<\/strong> debut in June.<\/p>\n<p>Their appearence follows their recently released debut album, &#8216;OK, I\u2019m Sick&#8217;. It&#8217;s thirteen songs of effective hard rock songs with massive choruses that should fit right at home at Donginton. With standout singles <em>&#8216;x Ana x&#8217;<\/em> and<em> &#8216;Ghost&#8217;<\/em> in their arsenal, alongside a series of thought-provoking tracks such as <em>&#8216;Die&#8217;<\/em> (political angst) and <em>&#8216;Daddy&#8217;<\/em> (child abuse), <strong>Badflower<\/strong> have plenty to offer.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Download Festival<\/strong> is sure to have many highlights this June. Besides planning to create a standout moment, <strong>Badflower<\/strong> frontman Josh Katz told us about the five songs he can&#8217;t wait to hear in the fields at Donington Park.<\/p>\n<h2>Tool &#8211; Sober<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s my favourite Tool song and has been a huge inspiration to me.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/youtu.be\/hglVqACd1C8<\/p>\n<h2>Fever 333 &#8211; Made an America<\/h2>\n<p>One of the best politically fuelled bands of our generation.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"FEVER 333 - MADE AN AMERICA\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Qnnmg9Uc5FQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>Slipknot &#8211; Duality<\/h2>\n<p><em>\u201cI push my fingers into my eyes\u201d<\/em> &#8211; enough said.
