New Bad Things, an indie rock band from Portland, Oregon, formed in 1992. The group initially comprised Matthew "Hattie" Hein, Luke Hollywood, "Prince" Mattie Gaunt, Jasin Fell, and Dave French. Their first single "I Suck" was picked up by BBC Radio 1 DJ John Peel and reached number 16 in the 1993 Festive 50. The band released their debut album Freewheel! in 1995 on Candy Ass Records, followed by Society in 1996 on Lissy's Records. In 1997, they released Ennui Go, marking a shift to a more pop-oriented sound. That same year, Hein left the band to pursue a solo career. New Bad Things toured Europe twice and recorded John Peel sessions for Radio One in the UK each time. The band changed their name to No Bad Things in 2001. C-Sides, an album of previously-unreleased and rare tracks, released in 1999.
