Sweet Crude’s video for “Porkupine” premieres on American Songwriter
Of the song, vocalist and violinist Sam Craft says, “With ‘Porkupine,’ we wanted to write a kick-ass, shout-along anthem aimed at the underdogs, weirdos, and nerds. It’s got an industrial sort of sound to it, as the musical texture is filled with mouth noises, pots and pans, electronic arpeggios, a whole distorted brass section, and heavily compressed drums. Sweet Crude has probably never been this aggressive. The chorus repeats the lyric ‘sauvez-vous,’ meaning ‘save yourself’ and the song is meant to pump up anyone out there feeling disenfranchised.”

Ella Vos shares new track “Burning Bridges,” second album forthcoming
“‘Burning Bridges’ is about setting healthy boundaries. I’ve always struggled with boundaries and have a hard time speaking up for what I want or need.

I learned that taking care of myself first was the best way I could take care of the people around me.”
