Suzie True X Cassie Ramone

Suzie True’s artistic identity has established itself as an exploration of modern young, femme experience through slice-of-life lyricism and call-and-response melody backed by warm and inviting indie rock-style instrumentals that are all inspired, “from Britney Spears, Hole, and anything off the Tony Hawk Pro Skater soundtracks.” Suzie True’s lyricism, which primarily covers the different feelings and life-lessons brought by relationships romantic and platonic, is the core of the bands overall presence and relatability. They’re self-described as “if The Powerpuff Girls started a Blink-182 cover band,” and Saddest Girl At The Party truly offers the kind of rock music for young listeners who like staring at the ceiling in silence together, reminiscing about memories of warm days past, slow-dancing, or perhaps looking at someone from a distance and wishing that they were. Suzie True has a songwriting style that supports the lyricism completely without pretense, existing solely to move as a unit to support and sing along with the situations Lexi McCoy tells stories about. Put her way, “I like the contrast of pretty songs with a cute aesthetic, but with lyrics that are darker thematically.” Suzie True’s commitment to form and growth is its primary strength. When that form is catchy songs about the experience of what it is to love and be loved, its growth can only be a gift that will continue to give to anyone in touch with it. Cassie Ramone lives in a cul-de-sac near a path through the woods, somewhere between a church, a freeway, and a truck stop. Time is meaningless there, and it’s usually windy. She writes songs about love and doom. When she’s not making music that might make you cry, you can find her near a bonfire, at Target, or chainsmoking in her 2006 Toyota. ALWAYS ALL AGES
