Bad English - Backlash
Aug 20, 2021 Season 1 Episode 8
Jeff Giles and Matt Wardlaw

What do you get when you put the broken pieces of Journey and the Babys together and use them to make a brand new supergroup? Bad English, of course — and although the band's first album was a huge hit, that was absolutely not the case for their 1991 followup, Backlash. How did it go so wrong, so fast? Jay Kumar joins Matt and Jeff for a look at this jinxed sophomore effort — and how it fits into the year AOR ate itself.
