Cults is an American indie pop band formed in New York City in 2010. The band first rose to prominence upon releasing their debut extended play, Cults 7″ (2010), on their Bandcamp page.[9] They subsequently signed to English singer Lily Allen's record label In the Name Of, an imprint of Sony Music to release their eponymous debut album (2011). A song from the album, "Bad Things" was sampled by American rapper J. Cole for his 2013 single "She Knows", on which they were credited as featured artists.[10]
