It is no wonder that they made Rolling Stone Country’s list of “10 New Artists You Need To Know.” Waterloo Revival is comprised of Texas natives George Birge (on lead vocals and guitar) and Cody Cooper (on guitar and background vocals), and they are signed to Big Machine Records.
From a lyrical standpoint, the single is clever, funky and infectious, and their harmonies are strong and filled with twang. George’s vocals are slightly reminiscent of Adam Levine from Maroon 5.
They show their fans how to have a good time on their flirty music video for “Bad For You,” which was filmed outside of Nashville, and directed by Brian Lazzaro. It is quite witty, since the duo goes on an adventure after their truck breaks down outside a fruit stand, and it shows them making the best out of that situation.
