Raw, real, and recorded in 3 days, Bad Nights/Better Days introduces the new duo of Abbie Gardner and Anthony da Costa. While Anthony blazed a trail on the singer/songwriter scene with Typical American Tragedy (January 2008) and Abbie released Love and Other Tragedies (May 2008) with Americana trio Red Molly, “this disc has a distinct feel that sits somewhere between Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings.” (Neil Pearson, Fish Records, UK)

Over the course of the record, love is found, confused, lost, rediscovered, and redefined.  The songs are filled with worn acoustic guitars, wailing electric guitars, crying Dobros, walls of lap-steel, junk percussion,  and soulful strings. Bad Nights/Better Days is evidence of the human condition, in all of its glory and pain.
