“Nauseous” was recorded with her producer Jason Cummings at 4115 Studio in Nashville, where DiRusso has lived in the same sprawling, 100-year-old house with fellow songwriter roommates for the last four years. “The song is trying to capture when you meet someone new and wonder ‘Am I what you like? Could I be what you like?’ There’s a high from being exactly what someone else wants you to be - getting it ‘right’ - but it’s exhausting to be anyone other than yourself.” “Everyone’s done the scramble of shoving things in your closet, Febreze, fluffing the comforter,” she says with a laugh, her lily-white bangs hang over her blue eyes. “W hat if I stayed here and gave it up? What if I cleaned my room and we fucked?” s he deadpans on the catchy single, “Nauseous.” It’s a salient example of DiRusso’s brand: bedroom rock made by a self-described “messy room girl.”Īlso Read Annie DiRusso Dresses Up As Marie Antoinette in Hilarious New Video For ‘Nauseous’ Like those bands, DiRusso satirizes the cycle of self-disgust and self-righteousness anyone who has been, will be, or still acts like they’re 23 would know well. Her first EP God, I Hate This Place is a joyride packed with over-shares and anthems that summon the wry pop of ’90s classics like Liz Phair’s Whitechocolatespacegg and Veruca Salt’s American Thighs. On “Hybrid,” she describes a summer drive: “You were driving/ I was lifeless, I liked it.” “He loves my face but not my body/ Should I lose weight? Just so he’ll want me?” She sings on “Body,” which ends with a grunge-rock slam that answers the question. Her lyrics are barbed with intrusive ideas that pull you in like a secret. The friction of opposites - the grotesque and the beloved - is the soul of DiRusso’s sound and hinges on her willingness to say the quiet parts out loud. What she interrogates through her music is how both can be true. “What made it even more sickening was that one of the other priests at the church said, ‘We pray for the deacon - and the accusers.’”ĭiRusso, 23, says in person and in the song (“Emerson”) that she was a happy child. “When I was in eighth grade getting confirmed, it came out that this deacon in our church molested young girls years ago, actually before he baptized me - it was past the statute of limitations by that time,” DiRusso looks down at her coffee mug pressed against Melissa Etheridge’s greyscale grin on her tee shirt. “Baptized by a pedophile in a church that reeks of oak and death.” S he shoots an “OK now let me explain” look. In 2012, the band celebrated its 50th anniversary.“I have one song about growing up and a bit about my childhood,” Annie DiRusso says with some apprehension. In 2008, the band ranked 10th on the Billboard Hot 100 All-Time Top Artists chart.

Sticky Fingers (1971) was the first of eight consecutive No. Let It Bleed (1969) marked the first of five consecutive No.

They have released 30 studio albums, 23 live albums and numerous compilations. Rolling Stone magazine ranked them fourth on the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time" list and their estimated record sales are above 250 million. The Rolling Stones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989 and the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2004. Their musical focus shifted from covering blues songs to writing original material, a decision with which Jones did not agree. The band's primary songwriters, Jagger and Richards, assumed leadership after Andrew Loog Oldham became the group's manager. Brian Jones was the original leader of the group. Stewart was removed from the official line-up in 1963 but continued as a touring member until his death in 1985. The first stable line-up consisted of Brian Jones (guitar, harmonica), Mick Jagger (lead vocals), Keith Richards (guitar, backing vocals), Bill Wyman (bass), Charlie Watts (drums), and Ian Stewart (piano). The Rolling Stones are an English rock band formed in London, England, in 1962.
