Mediocre, includes guitarist/vocalist Piper Torrison and bassist/vocalist Keely Martin, release their debut album Growth Eater, on September 27th via Dangerbird Records (Grandaddy, Sebadoh). Ahead of the LP’s release, the Los Angeles duo have shared “Litterbug!” The band shares, “It’s about an awareness of littering your environment with your own clutter and your own racing thoughts with endless chatter, perpetually disorganized and entrapped by chaos. Knowing that these issues are self constructed is what makes the wound sting the most, and coming to terms with your own trash, your own litter, is the only way to actually find the guts to start picking it up.”

Growth Eater was recorder with drummer Jake Pavlica and producer Danny Nogueiras (No Win) in his Glassell Park studio with the goal of playful experimentation and with more confidence than ever. The album title can be understood from numerous lenses, such as the harmful ways we eat away at ourselves, and by extension, the opportunity for positive growth when one finds the strength to sever bad habits that feast on our well-being. Forming Mediocre as high school sophomores best friends Piper Torrison and Keely Martin have faced huge life changes together.
