The Loft are one of the founding voices of the British indie sound, having helped shape the identity of the legendary Creation Records label in the 1980s. Badges marks the reunion of all four original members — Pete Astor, Dave Morgan, Bill Prince, and Andy Strickland — and arrives as a follow-up to their 2025 debut full-length, Everything Changes, Everything Stays The Same, released on Tapete Records.
Badges showcases the band at their most confident and cohesive, delivering ten guitar-led rock songs that carry the crisp, timeless energy of classic indie pop. Forged from two years of consistent touring and playing together, the album has a relaxed yet assured quality, with chief songwriter Pete Astor demonstrating a refined mastery of the short-form guitar pop song that made The Loft such an influential act in the first place.
