Kevin Kiner’s Soundtrack to STAR WARS THE BAD BATCH Volume 2 Released Today

STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH, Volume 2 (Episodes 9-16) is available today from Walt Disney Records. The animated series debuted on May 4, with all Season One episodes now streaming exclusively on Disney+.  Award-winning composer Kevin Kiner composed and produced all 37 and 38 tracks respectively on Volume 1 and Volume 2.

Said Kiner, “We’re proud to be completing the first season soundtrack of THE BAD BATCH with Volume 2. There are so many high points in here as the season builds to its finale that it’s impossible to mention all of them, but we’ve got the climax of the Cad Bane arc, the chilling turn of the Clones theme from heroic to villainous as the Empire uses the clones to tighten its grip on Separatist worlds. We’ve got Hera and Howzer, Gregor and Cid! Early Stormtroopers! Kamino!!! Of course, there’s the emotional climax of the season with the finale as Crosshair and the Bad Batch find themselves face to face once more, and we see the final fate of Tipoca City in a devastating sequence that was emotional to score. I hope you enjoy the music that I, along with Sean and Dean have had so much fun with!  May the force be with you!”

About STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH: The series follows the elite and experimental troopers of Clone Force 99 (first introduced in STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch, as they prefer to be called — a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army — each possess a singular exceptional skill, which makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew.
