Right from the start, Mediocre wants you to know they’re not resting on their laurels. The queer rock duo is reigniting Boston’s long-held DIY tradition with an ode to ‘90s camp.
Right from the start, Mediocre wants you to know they’re not resting on their laurels. From the crunchy opening moments of “To Know You’re Screwed is to Know a Lot,” the lead single from the group’s newest EP “,” they begin to parade the core tenets of their music: radical honesty, sugar-coated irony and a painful sense of self-awareness.
“This EP will probably resonate with us in a very different way when we’re older, but right now, it feels so much as if we are in our early 20s and just graduated college,” laughs Martin, who just graduated from Emerson College in December. “The Hives are also a big one for us,” says Martin, an influence evident on the album’s energized lead track. Torrison adds Luscious Jackson and Le Tigre to the list.
“My younger self... imagined the music in my head as a big sound, rock heavy and melodic,” says Martin. “Once I saw how ‘Tiny Toad’ was developing, it felt like it was fulfilling the fifteen-year-old-me prophecy.”
