This feels like the 90s continued and I want that more than anything.

[@dr.m3653]

Me too. I miss the 90's. I would have so been skateboarding to this. Kurt cobain would have been proud to see his legacy is still alive vicariously through others.

Big shout-out to the director of this video - Dave Smith - I've spent a while trying to understand why I love this so much. Ignoring the obvious talent of the musicians and vocalists the sense of timing of the various shots is incredible!!

What's story behind the music video ? Seems like the house belongs to a Hispanic family

[@creekandseminole]

@@P0ETICsin Peyton Bighorse (drummer) is Native American. Kelly Mayo (guitar) is her step-sister. They're from Oklahoma. They filmed this at their families house.

[@TheDianaJC]

I was looking for girl bands just starting out on youtube, I found some but the vibe felt forced, like they were acting, trying to be rockstars. Then I found you, I like the songs, love the bass, and you can feel the vibe is true and original, not forced, I'm loving the atmosphere - Takes me back to when I was a teen discovering 90's girl bands. Keep it up, you're awesome :)

[@A-D-D-F_Toxic]

I think what’s interesting about the vocals in this song is that it forces us to get used to Kelli’s voice, which is very interesting and a bit more unique and little-sister-y. Then when Peyton takes the lead and sings a stanza that has already been established earlier in the song, her voice is a lot more clean and pure, so it’s somewhat of a breath of fresh air that I didn’t know I needed.

[@JoeGurt]

this comment is such an obscure, yet exact string of words that i didn't know i needed to read. this is exactly how the song feels, dead on. this band is so talented, especially now that kurtis joined and they're a 3 piece, it gives the songs an extra layer.

[@xasia_]

Kelli is grungy hardcore and expansive and peyton is crisp put together and songbirdy

[@robeilertson3502]

I like SP songs better when Kelli is the primary singer vs Peyton as primary singer, but in Kelli-led songs, if Peyton has a singing part it is always my favorite bit of the song. They are both great though.

I finally saw them on April 17, 2019 when they rolled into town.

I really hope more people discover them.
