Lehtiartikkeleja:
Suosikki 7, 1982: Teddy Guitarin uudet kuviot, Rock'n'rollia ja rhthm and bluesia suoraan sydämestä.
---------------------------------------------
Bändiä alettiin kasaaman ja ohjelmistoa tekemää alkuvuodesta 1982 ja ensimäiset keikat elokuussa 1982. Yhtye talakoitui 1988. Bad Sign teki paluun 1996 esiintyen ainakin Lohjalla Dr. Feelgoodin lämppärinä, oliko keikkaa enemmänkin?. 2007 Aikka ja kumppanit esiintyi muutamia kertoja.
