Bad Flirt is an indie pop band from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, originally formed as a solo project. The band was launched in its current form in the winter of 2004 and has since played more than 200 shows.

Starting in the spring of 2002, Bad Flirt performed extensively as a solo artist in Eastern Canada and the United States using the name Bad Flirt. Bad Flirt shared the stage with One Candle Power and Jade Tree recording artist Onelinedrawing during an early performance in Montreal. Bad Flirt performed again with Onelinedrawing in 2003 and in the same year shared the stage with Victory Records' The Sleeping, Bayside and Glasseater as well as the now defunct group The Unicorns.

Bad Flirt released an EP in the summer of 2003 entitled The August Issues; a tour followed the release of this album. Bad Flirt played shows with Relapse Records band Buried Inside, Astralwerks dance punk group VHS or BETA, and played at the 2003 edition of POP Montreal.

In 2004, Bad Flirt took a break from touring and began working on their second EP. It was during this time the project expanded to a band. Bad Flirt enlisted ex-A Vertical Mosaic members Heidi Donnely and Edmund Lam, as well as guitarist Mark Grinberg. The first release by the newly formed band was 6 Ways To Break Your Heart, completed in 2005. This incarnation of Bad Flirt toured extensively throughout 2005. During the tour, the band appeared at The Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey, among other notable venues. The record was played on college, community and mainstream radio stations.
