SKORTS is thrusting their 70s glam and 90s alternative together in such majestic way it left me speechless on St. Patty’s Day. Opening for another fave of mine, The Thing, SKORTS are making their mark on New York City’s DIY rock scene. The band is comprised of Alli Walls, lead vocalist, Char Smith, lead guitarist, Emma Welch, bassist, and Max Berdik drummer. Their fashion screams glam rock, as does their stylized 70s meets 90s music but it all pivots to a modern day rock opus.
Their song for “Eat Your Heart Out” is a seething rock tune for the ages. The video is an ode to Olivia Newton- John and contains a sprawling 80s workout theme that spills off to the song’s energy. See below for my interview with Walls and Smith of the band SKORTS.
