Tomorrows Bad Seeds
While mainstream music continues to become more commercialized and less visionary, many musicians aim to create music containing the substance that radio airwaves seem to lack. It is with this goal that L.A.’s Tomorrows Bad Seeds has emerged onto the music scene and is quickly gaining momentum as one of the hottest rising bands in Southern California. With a high-energy mix of reggae, rock, punk, soul and hip-hop, they create a refreshing and vibrant sound that can captivate any crowd.
Tomorrows Bad Seeds’ music is driven by its rumbling rhythm section, punching guitar riffs, harmonic vocals and lyrics charged by day-to-day experiences, love, and politics. What stand out most in the band’s songs are the positive messages. The band’s sound is a fuse of the different backgrounds of each band member and has been compared to Sublime and 311.
Tomorrows Bad Seeds is comprised of Moises Juarez (lead vocals), Sean Chapman (vocals/guitar), Mathew McEwan (vocals/guitar), John McEwan (drums), and Al Arnado (bass). After forming in October 2003, The Bad Seeds began aggressively touring the South Bay Los
Angeles area with an increasingly substantial following, especially among the surf, skate, and beach crowd. The band’s live performances are electrifying and create a wave of excitement on stage. “We have accomplished more than I ever imagined, but who knows what the future will bring ‘cus were just getting started,” warns Moi.
Moises Juarez was born in the surf community of Manhattan Beach and raised in South Bay, California. He got his voice from his mother. Her Scottish roots include a long line of vocalists. Moi’s charisma and rhythm come from his father’s Latin side. Moi had a life long dream to
become a singer/song writer/entertainer. He began break dancing at the age of 14. Although much too shy to sing in front of people, break dancing allowed him to over come his fear of the spot light and gain the confidence needed. At age 18 he was appearing as a dancer in music videos with musicians such as Sting, Missy Elliot, and Mandy Moore. He was selected from ten thousand applicants to audition in Los Angeles for the reality TV show Popstars 2 in 2000. He went on to win and join the musical group Scene 23 as Moises “Bad Seed” Juarez. In 2002, Moi
got together with Mathew McEwan and started playing acoustic shows locally in the South Bay. “Music is the only thing no one can ever take away from me, it lives in me. It makes me feel like everything is going to be alright,” says Moi.
