Traffic Jams: Skating Polly — 'Oddie Moore'
Traffic Jams: Skating Polly — 'Oddie Moore'-April 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:12:08

Every so often, I come across a band that I can’t believe I hadn’t heard of them before. Last year, that band was Skating Polly — and I rediscovered them yet again last week. Now, it’s your time to listen to ‘em, too.

Skating Polly was founded in 2009 by multi-instrumentalist stepsisters Kelly Mayo and Peyton Bighorse, who were nine and 14 at the time. “Oddie Moore” is part of The Big Fit, which was released in 2016 — meaning Mayo was 16 and Bighorse was 21. Like, imagine being in your early 20s and having four exceptional albums under your belt already.

“Oddie Moore” is an oddity; where Mayo usually sings, Bighorse occasionally takes over, and this is one of those songs. She has one hell of a voice and writes exceptional lyrics, and while Mayo isn’t exactly a traditional frontwoman in the sense that she’s the only singer, she’s the one casual fans associate with the band.

But man, Bighorse just kills it. She’s an underrated vocalist, and I wish more people knew about her. And about Skating Polly, generally. Because hell yeah, girl power.

Over the years, Jeep has made a few attempts at a full-size offering, something that could take on the Chevy Suburbans and Ford Expeditions of the world. While Jeep’s original Grand Wagoneer attempt remained rather successful for nearly 30 years, Jeep’s second stab at a viable competitor wasn’t as...
