Badfeel is an Albanian rock band from Prishtina, Kosovo, formed in 2012. The bands line-up includes Eurisa Rukovci (vocals), Astrit Abrashi(lead guitar, Sound effects), Jon Macula(guitar, Distortion Specialist), Albin Abazi(drums) and Ron Latifi(bass guitar, back vocals). The bands name "Badfeel" came across when during a small concert in Prishtina, the announcer spelled the name wrong. So instead of presenting the bands original name "Batfeel", it became "Badfeel". This name-change hasted an idea into the members minds, making them want to change peoples perspective of life, art and mainly heavy music. The name "Badfeel" and the music behind that idea was now part of Albanian rock culture.

History
Badfeel began on a summers day in the year of 2012, with four friends having a coffee at a local rock bar in Prishtina. The bands lead guitarist, Astrit Abrashi came up with the idea of "how to make summer more interesting" and brought up the band thing. Back then, the band included Robert Shala(drums) and had only one guitarist, not including Jon Macula. A small practice place was found fast and Badfeel started making music. The band started covering bands, such as Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Korn, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Deftones etc. With those covers ready, Badfeel was ready for their first performance, in the annual PRF(Prishtina Rock Fest). After that, there were a bunch of small concerts in various bars in Prishtina, Hard Rock Cafe in Prishtina and PRC(Prishtina Rock Cafe). Before the start of creating self-made stuff, Robert Shala left the band. So the band had to take a break until a new drummer was found. Months later, Erin Godanci became the new drummer of the band. After some time together, Erin Godanci left the band, and again the band was left without a drummer. Leading on to Albin Abazi becoming the new and last drummer of the band. In addition, the band discussed adding a second guitarist, strengthening riffs and sound. That\s when Jon Macula joined the band. It was time the band started to create their own music. Till now an EP is ready to be released, but lack of time and members being busy with their professions and studies, it had to be postponed.

Genre
Badfeel has a unique style of combining two or more genres into one song. With high distortion, slow and intensive drumming and riffs influenced by Blues and Stoner Rock. On the other hand, vocals are more based on higher voice pitches and melodic versing, combining the heavy tone with the smooth singing. The songs lyrics are written and sung in Gheg albanian language. Their First project is going to be out in the near future.

Performances
Badfeel performed in two major concerts in Prishtina: First one was, PRF(Prishtina Rock Fest) in 2012 where they had their first performance in front of a big audience. Second one, was the 13th edition of "Rock per Rock", largest rock concert held in Kosovo, where they won first place, performing two self-made songs, for the first time.
