Coleen Green - Cujo

A Boston native turned California Girl, Colleen Green subscribes to the Ramones' grungy lessons and adds to them the laissez-faire cool of modern California stoner pop. With songs about the little things- dancing with your friends or wanting boys to like you-Green explores the ways one tries to get rid of heartache. She's a sad songwriter, without a doubt, and the upbeat, clapping drumbeats and simple chord progressions only facilitate her cathartic tales of loneliness. On past releases, Green has covered everyone from Blink-182 to NoBunny to get her feelings across. "I just love songs with catchy melodies and sad-sack lyrics," she says. Green's live show is a lesson in being the coolest girl in school- she stands stark still, alone on stage (save for sometimes a drummer), her face half-obscured by bangs and sunglasses, and sings her songs without many flourishes. Green describes herself as "wicked lazy and poor," but exudes that I-couldn't-possibly-give-less-of-a-fuck vibe more than anything else. To celebrate the release of the limited-edition Cujo EP, she will embark on a tour supporting Dum Dum Girls and Crocodiles in October. Limited-edition EP from everyone's favorite California Girl
