The track sees the young artist delving into pop punk territory for the first time.

With pop punk undergoing something of a resurgence as of late, there has been an emergence of a bunch of exciting, and not so exciting (*cough* MGK) new talents and artists showcasing their unique takes on the genre.

One of these is Peyton Marie, an young artist from Iowa who has gradually been building up steam and acclaim with her energetic and youthful sound. A multi-talented singer-songwriter who plays piano, guitar and bass, her latest release ‘Growing Pains’ is a statement of intent from the artist, and a step into new sonic territory. Peyton showcases a more punk-edged sound on the track, and a defiant and no-fucks-given attitude as she ruthlessly denounces a former friend following a bad falling out. From its fuzz-laden guitars to Peyton’s assured and commanding vocal performance, the track fizzes with an infectious sense of energy and charm, as the artist continues to establish herself as someone with a multitude of talents, and an artist to keep a close eye on.
