Bad Luck. is an American alternative rock project led by brothers Dominick and Joe Fox.
Originally emerging from the Long Island scene before migrating to Florida, the band has navigated several stylistic shifts while maintaining a core identity rooted in abrasive pop-punk and emo. Their early work, such as 'Cold Bones', established a reputation for compact, high-energy songwriting that addressed themes of nostalgia and mental health. Over time, the project evolved from a solo endeavor into a full-band unit, refining their production from raw, lo-fi beginnings to the more sophisticated, 'studio-polished' sound heard on 'Summer of Pain'. Critically, they are often grouped with the 'fourth wave' of emo, sharing a sonic lineage with artists who prioritize lyrical vulnerability and dynamic vocal performances. Their cultural position is defined by a 'socially active' stance and a commitment to authenticity, bridging the gap between the DIY basement scene and more established indie-rock circles. The band's influence web includes the melodic grit of early 2000s Long Island emo and the technical aggression of modern pop-punk.
