Brooklyn-based indie-rock band Ok Cowgirl share ‘Rock N Roll Ruined My Life’, the final single from their upcoming album Rhinestone Cowgirl, out this Friday via Easy Does It Records.
‘Rock N Roll Ruined My Life’ takes an honest look at the realities of being an artist and what it really means to stay on a creative path. Bandleader Leah Lavigne shares:
“I wrote this song to myself and to so many friends who have struggled to justify staying the course while pursuing this precarious path of being an artist. It is not an easy path, and as an artist with a day job I have had periods of time where I’ve grown resentful of music for taking up all my time-off requests and keeping me in a job without healthcare. I wrote this song to vent those feelings, and every time I sing the tongue-in-cheek hook I am reminded how untrue it is. Music is the most fulfilling and joyful part of my life. That’s the beautiful thing about giving yourself space to feel your challenging feelings– you’ll often find they’re misnamed.”
Live date:
8/22 – Brooklyn, NY – Baby’s All Right (LP release show)
