Sending bulletins from the aftershocks of her school years, Hell Is A Teenage Girl exists as an exorcism of upset and anger, created mere months after Hannah Grae escaped it all. Merging the comforting childhood sounds of musical theatre scores and Taylor Swift’s storytelling with a lineage of emotive, rage-fuelled female voices from Alanis Morrisette to Wolf Alice’s Ellie Rowsell -the result is a cross-genre bite ripping the head off pop culture lies. Turning the studio into a playground and gaining a new education in pop punk and 90s grunge away from the softer soundtrack of her Port Talbot home, the Hell Is a Teenage Girl sessions gave Hannah a vehicle to finally vocalise years of bottledup feelings.
