Road to the Bottle: POTTY MOUTH
POTTY MOUTH is four ladies from western Massachusetts who are simply doing what they want to do. This straightforward approach to living may seem naïve in our modern world, but it appears to be working out pretty well for them. As the chorus of approving blogs (Spin, CMJ, Pitchfork, Noisey, and NPR among them) and a growing nest of fans might agree, it’s both admirable and enjoyable to watch come together.Ally, Phoebe, Ally, and Victoria are going on two years making badass melodic pop music with punk rock in their hearts and minds. They clearly came of age in the 90s, but are not to be fetishized as a teenage punk band. Nor, as they have made clear in every interview they’ve done, are they to be labeled as RIOT GRRRL, because that’s “lazy and reductive” and “gender does not equal genre.” Boo-yah.Learn more about the gals in POTTY MOUTH and view some adorbz photoz after the jump.
