“It can get pretty chaotic when we’re playing. People have said it feels like it could fall apart at any moment but in a good way. We try to make our music honest and engaging and I think that’s what drew us to people like Nina and Louise or Exene; you can probably guess a lot of the acts that we love, but we’re able to keep making music that always sounds like us. We really try to make the songs the focus instead of trying to flaunt technical musical abilities, and that honesty and optimism is why everyone from legendary musical figures as well as hardcore fans have gravitated toward Skating Polly’s music.”
