Ugly Pop: Skating Polly

I’m not entirely sure when I discovered Skating Polly (Kelli, Peyton and Kurtis), I think probably somewhere around 2018 or 2019. In other words, before I started my Bands New To Me series/category. But with their latest song having just been published I decided to give them a dedicated entry with some of my favourite songs by them, starting with the latest:

Skating Polly – Hickey King (Official Video)

In a similar noisy style, but also with beautiful layered vocals:

Skating Polly – Hail Mary (Official Video)

But they also have a different side, voice, piano and guitar:

Skating Polly – Don’t Leave Me Gravity (Official Video)

Back to noisier sounds from their New Tricks EP with two famous guests, Nina Gordon & Louise Post of Veruca Salt:

Skating Polly – Louder In Outer Space (Official Video)

Enjoying Hollywood life while not moving to Hollywood or joining the Hollywood crowd:

Skating Polly – Hollywood Factory (Official Video)

Another of their older songs, I love the bass line in this one, as well as the pounding and rattling drums:

Skating Polly – Pretective Boy (Official Video)

The second to last song is another quiet one with just Kelli and Peyton singing while playing the piano (and some light drums):

Skating Polly – A Little Late (Official Video)

And to close some pure simple noise from before Kurtis joining with just a basitar and drums (and of course voice):

Skating Polly – Stop Digging (Official Video)

I could have picked many more, but I had to draw the line somewhere and leave you to discover more yourself: Skating Polly website, Skating Polly YouTube channel
