Artist: Lonely Little Kitsch
Single: Monster
From: Niagara Region
Kristen Goetz and Nolan Jodes started the band during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their debut single, “The New Scene,” was quickly picked up by radio stations in the GTA and was included in the opening video promoting an NHL Game on Sportsnet.
The duo has also started their own indie label, Swear Word Records.
“When I first started writing the lyrics for “Monster”, it was mostly about how I can get easily frustrated and overwhelmed, and turn into something ugly. I’m not proud of it, but it’s accurate. But the more the song took shape, it became about how divided the world is right now, and how easily people turn on others. Just look at the comments section of any article or social media post, and you’ll see exactly what I mean. It’s a divisive time, and we’re seeing the worst in people. Even ourselves. Musically, this came together a couple of years ago. Nolan was playing around on the guitar and came up with the main riff, and as I overheard it, the melody and words “I become a monster” just came out of nowhere. That’s usually how it happens,” –said Kristen Goetz, in a statement about the song.
