Born out of dorm-room demos and packed college house shows, The Bends are a rock band from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, reimagining the sound of early-2000s garage rock with catchy choruses and a stage ferociousness that has quickly earned them a growing following. Formed by childhood friends Ian Marmande (guitar) and Jacob Rhodes (drums) alongside frontman Hayden Field and bassist Chase Perkins during their time at LSU, the band played their first show in 2023 to a crowd of 800 and has since built momentum across the Southeast.
The Bends released debut single “Makeup” last year (Top 5 on Spotify’s Viral Chart) and followed with “Weekend Love” and recent single “Virginia,” drawing attention from streaming playlists and SiriusXM Alt-Nation. This performance is part of their LEEWARD DRIVE TOUR.
