Everything has to be a guessing game Why can't you just speak plainly? Everything has to be black or white Maybe it's wrong or it's right I won't play your guessing game Everything has to be written on the wall in letters that are ten feet tall Everything has to be spelled out twice Gotta be white as snow or black as night I won't play your guessing game You say Maybe I say No Maybe's I gotta know I won't play your guessing game

about

"those vocals are killer!" - dudes overheard by a friend of ours

"awwwwww, fun!" - presumed general sentiment

"Pollard strums a crunchy elec guitar, and sings in her trademark heartfelt breathlessness about such well-worn topics as love, jealousy, and missing a childhood pet. But the addition of vocal harmonies, soulfully stacked layers, and classic calls-and-responses by Cope and McGroary, a powerhouse team who both hail from musical theater, boy that's just brilliant. They bring in a heavy dose of class and sass. Drummer Marcy keeps the beat and the energy high. On Tiger Stripes, don't be surprised to find a Phil Collins-esque drum fill or two. Riverside Drive is whole-heartedly retro. Listen to the entire album and you are going to suddenly be transported back to a memory of the most perfect summer day. So buckle up and enjoy the ride. This is snappy, sappy, unapologetic pop magic" - fake review

released May 21, 2017

All songs written in a weird time, when Pollard was Trying to record a boring, stupid solo album, these songs came out of nowhere and melted her Face. Using a pink loop pedal, Pollard layered idea upon idea and had too many voices to chose from. Soon, Tia Cope and Mary McGroary floated in with their superior voice control, enthusiasm and stage theater glamour and helped untangle the mess; then Nate Marcy strode into the room, lookin' all Johnny Karate, picked up some sticks; and, thus, Riverside Drive happened.

Recorded live and mixed by Jamie "Hell Yeah!" Hillyer at Module Overload
