BADSQUATCH
rock/alternative/progressive
BADSQUATCH (Jared William Gottberg) is a career musician of epic proportions, boasting over 2000 lifetime performances (averaging about 200 shows a year since 2021) and several studio albums over two decades with several groups and as a solo artist. Nominated in 2013 by the Omaha Entertainment and Arts Awards for Best Hard Rock, and then again in 2019 for Best Rock with current band The Party After, a dystopian party rock trio from the Midwest.
BADSQUATCH's most recent release (2/20/2026) is titled "Such a Burden" and is a part of a 14-track double length EP centered around mental health and what it means to be human. This is the first track under the new moniker BADSQUATCH, and there is a follow up single planned for May 2026.
PRESS QUOTES:
"BADSQUATCH cracks the mirror with 'Such a Burden' and transforms self-hatred into raw sonic matter." - Extravafrench
“It's a bold and vulnerable starting point. If the rest of this project carries the same emotional weight, BADSQUATCH could be building something genuinely powerful here.” - Rock and Metal Magazine
