Under the guise of girlpuppy, Atlanta musician Becca Harvey uses her music as a mirror to examine the details of her own experiences. And on the bounding, pop-punk banger “Since April”, she relives the aftermath of a failed relationship and the emotions that plagued her during this time. As she recounts the struggle of moving on and finding peace in the resulting devastation, guitars thrash and careen around her. Drums pummel the surrounding landscape, and she finds the strength to put it all behind her, making way for hope and the promise of happier days and better loves.
“I wrote this song very early in my breakup when I was grieving ‘every single day’, explains Harvey. “The original demo was so different from what Alex and I ended up creating, but I love this version so much more. It brings an attitude to the song that transforms it beyond just sad lyrics and chords.“
The accompanying video was directed by Miles Robbins. “I had so much fun making this video with Miles and the rest of the team,” Harvey says. “I think it makes the song hit harder and perfectly displays the suffering I was going through when I wrote it.“
