The Bad Life is Tom Minor’s Single Out Now
The song is a dynamic blend of classic rock and modern sensibilities, with Minor’s vocals delivering a raw, unapologetic energy.
The track’s structure is anything but predictable. At the 50-second mark, the arrangement takes an unexpected turn, shifting into an ethereal, otherworldly universe that suspends the listener in a moment of sonic bliss.
This brief interlude adds charm to the song before it transitions back into the driving rock verse.
Minor’s songwriting is reminiscent of David Bowie, with its clever wordplay and ability to capture the complexities of human emotion. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a life lived on the edge, embracing both the thrills and dangers of existence.
The piano break at the 2:10 mark is a brilliant bridge that builds tension and anticipation before the song’s finale.
In a world saturated with formulaic pop music, “The Bad Life” is a refreshing breath of fresh air. It’s a song that demands your attention, refusing to be easily categorized.

Wild Ride!
An invitation to hedonism and all the pleasure and pain that it may entail or a warning thereof, we can’t quite figure out, can you? What’s obvious though with the fifth single by singer-songwriter Tom Minor, is that although his evident attempt at an Iggy Pop impersonation on the choruses may fall a tad short of being convincingly ‘Midwestern’, the Islington indie iconoclast manages to come into his own again, creating a unique sound we’ve come to expect from him and bringing us yet another new aspect of his evolving artistry.
An infectiously anthemic ode to living high in low places and a recommended sing-along soundtrack to your next pub crawl at that, The Bad Life sees the return of The Creatures Of Habit in all their rockingest glory, literally living up to their name again. The atmospheric harmonica stabs were delivered by producer Teaboy Palmer.
Hailing from London N1, where he was born to and raised by a multicultural Finnish-Swedish family, singer-songwriter Tom Minor feels inspired by indie rock, new wave and punk, power pop, psychedelic and garage rock, soul, reggae and ska. After several years in the shadows of showbiz and odd jobs as far as in NZ, Tom Minor now splits most of his time between London and Helsinki.
