about

"Spill" is the first single off our upcoming EP, Perpetual Motion Machine (EP release date August 1st). "Spill" is a very in-your-face blues-rock song about misogyny in the music industry (and beyond). I've had many experiences of being harassed at merch table meet-and-greets or being dismissed by sound engineers at gigs and I put all that fury into this song. I think of this one as my internal monologue being screamed in someone's face. The rest of the EP touches on similar topics, mainly life on the road in its excitement and exhaustion, and different scenes in my touring history where I've experienced sexism and underhanded deals.

lyrics

Talk a little louder, my man
Help me un- help me understand
Same age as your daughter, goddamn
Don’t you reach, don’t you reach for my hand

A smile is not an invitation
There’s fire behind this laugh I’m faking
So talk a little louder, my man
Help me, help me, help me understand

You know, I kinda like it when you
Walk away
You keep talkin but it’s
All the same
You’re lookin like you wanna
Make my day
Quit spitting in my face
Quit spitting in my face
You got somethin to say?
Quit spitting in my face

You don’t like my "politics"
It’s radical for me just to exist, now
In everything I’m only pleasing myself
So you can spill your drink on somebody else

Two things my fingers weave, that’s
Car keys and guitar strings, yeah
I’ll never be the first to blink, no
I’m not the doll that you might think

Yeah, I kinda like it when you
Walk away
You keep talkin but it’s
All the same
You’re lookin like you wanna
Make my day
Quit spitting in my face
Quit spitting in my face
You got somethin to say?
Quit spitting in my face

Kinda like it when you
Walk away
You keep talkin but it’s
All the same
You’re lookin like you wanna
Make my day
Quit spitting in my face
Quit spitting in my face
You got somethin to say?
Quit spitting in my face

You got somethin to say?

about

Patty PerShayla Nashville, Tennessee

Despite being a three-piece band, The Mayhaps have developed a larger-than-life sound with soaring guitar solos and compelling vocal moments, featuring a spectacle of a five-foot-two (-and-three-quarters) woman, hooting and strutting across the stage, gracefully wielding a bass guitar almost the size of her wingspan. ... more
