Speedy Ortiz's Cathartic Journey: Confronting Memories, Embracing Colorful Punk

Sadie Dupuis, frontwoman of the band Speedy Ortiz, explores her painful past and childhood trauma on their upcoming album "Rabbit Rabbit." The forced stillness of the pandemic allowed Dupuis to delve into topics she had long suppressed, resulting in songs that touch on vulnerability, power, anger, and survival mechanisms. The album merges private reckonings with sonic ambitions, featuring complex yet catchy guitar-driven rock. Dupuis draws inspiration from her experiences and influences from 1990s indie and alternative rock, creating music that is both highly technical and heartfelt.
