Cody Delange Skips the Grudge on 'Because I Was Treated Badly'
The Alberta songwriter works through old schoolyard bullying with distorted bass, digital drums, and zero self-pity.

Alberta multi-instrumentalist Cody Delange tracked 'Because I Was Treated Badly' from his home setup, cutting his own guitar and bass over heavy electronic percussion. He writes about getting picked apart in school and the mess it left behind, but skips the usual anger in favor of just being straight about what happened.
The song runs on an odd, jagged rhythm where the guitars scrape against cold digital beats rather than settling into a neat radio formula. It sounds messy, earnest, and stubborn, like someone deciding out loud to stop carrying other people's garbage.
