Cults is an American indie pop band formed in New York City in 2010. The band first rose to prominence after the release of their debut extended play, Cults 7″ (2010), which was released on their Bandcamp page. They signed with English singer Lily Allen's record label In the Name Of, an imprint of Sony Music to release their eponymous debut studio 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.
