About Bad Self Portraits
Since forming in Omaha in 2017, Ingrid Howell (Vocals, Bass), Cole Kempcke (Guitar), Connor Paintin (Guitar, Keys), and Jesse White (Drums, Vocals) have captivated audiences with performances that seamlessly blend theatrical simplicity and psychological depth. Rooted in candid reflection and unflinching honesty, their music forges a sound unmistakably their own.
The band navigates the tension between chaos and clarity—where raw emotion collides with deliberate musical architecture. Their indie-rock palette is driven by vocals that ache and soar, guitar lines that shimmer and snarl, and rhythmic shifts that mirror the turbulence of inner life. From delicate textures to cathartic crescendos, their arrangements are intentionally dynamic—designed not just to be heard, but felt. It’s music that doesn’t flinch, that dares to be unpolished, and that turns self-exploration into a shared, full-body experience.
Bad Self Portraits champion the act of embracing discomfort as a path to growth, courageously spotlighting life’s messiest truths. Their songs resonate like emotional mirrorballs—inviting listeners to shed pretense and revel in the messy, magnificent truth of being human.
