once and awhile you do run into that stuff, and you kinda just have to be like “okay.” And shake it off. HEM: Yeah Heart Eyes gets that a little, like, “you’re girls (and boys) running a magazine?” Like that doesn’t really happen.
ANY PLANS FOR THE FUTURE? CAN YOU GIVE US ANY HINTS ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM? WHAT CAN FANS EXPECT FROM IT? Alisa: No plans.
Cristal: That is so silly to me. It is just so silly.
Katie: What?!
Katie: We change people’s minds.
Cristal: Absolutely! It’s just gonna keep getting bigger and better, you know?
Kenna: We always say to every negative there are three positives. HEM: Right! Alisa: Kinda like a yin and yang. Kenna: There’s been times when girls come up to us just sobbing and just like, “You’re so inspiring. I want to be a tour manager now.” Or, you know, “I want to do this.” Music or anything. To even just go to school or have a career. It’s just really cool to see that too.
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE #TIMESUP AND #METOO CAMPAIGNS? Alisa: I am happy that things are coming to the surface and that voices are being heard and stuff. Kenna: I think that it is great. Alisa: Very powerful. Cristal: I think it’s definitely like Ke$ha at the Grammys - it’s so huge. Do you know what I mean? It’s like she was quite a pioneer of that movement. She was one of the first to really speak out.
Alisa: Just kidding, just kidding.
Alisa: You can expect a lot of releases. I think they’re coming sooner than you think. Cristal: Tons of new music. Obviously we are on tour and we’re playing; we’re going over to Europe after this tour. So I think it’s just like.. Kenna: Traveling, bigger and better.
LASTLY, ANY MUSIC YOU’VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH LATELY? WHAT SONGS ARE YOU GUYS REPEATING OVER AND OVER? Alisa: CTRL by Sza. I’ve been playing that on repeat. Kenna: I love Lily Allen’s new song. Have you guys heard it? Its called like “Trigger Bang.” Alisa: Or like the new Drake dropped this week too, “God’s Plan.” I love that song. Katie: I actually really like the new Troye Sivan single. I’ve been listening to “My My My” a lot. It’s awesome!
Kenna: Yeah, she was. Cristal: So I think it’s just such important work being done. And like we’re so happy to be on stage at this time as an all-female band and just doing what we do. Katie: Being representative. Cristal: It’s important, it’s awesome.
