About Mediocre
There is more than one artist named Mediocre: 1. Mediocre, the Los Angeles-based rock duo of guitarist/vocalist Piper Torrison (she/they) and bassist/vocalist Keely Martin (she/her). The band formed when the pair were high school sophomores, first jamming in Torrison’s garage and later gigging in West L.A.’s DIY scene. Now Torrison and Martin are graduates of UC Santa Cruz and Emerson College, respectively, with two EPs under their belt—2020’s no-frills Emotion Sickness and 2023’s bubbly, vigorous To Know You’re Screwed—and their first LP Growth Eater that’s brazenly lush, endlessly exhilarating, and by far their most fully realized musical project to date. After writing songs during their overlapping one-year stint in Boston—inspired by the cerebral pop arrangements of Tegan and Sara’s The Con, the clean, poignant vocals of Jenny Lewis, and the yearning, hopeful indie rock of Broken Social Scene—Mediocre joined drummer Jake Pavlica and producer Danny Nogueiras (Together Pangea, No Win) in his Glassell Park studio with the goal of playful experimentation and with more confidence than ever. They emerged with a searingly thick power pop record that darts between unexpected sounds, from ‘00s dance-punk grooves to kalimba-laden, Elliott Smith-esque swirls to self-immolating guitar solos that ignite and then flame out. 2. Mediocre is a band made by Ryan Clark and Kris Harrison, they reside in Shelby Twp Michigan. Heavily influenced by Black Sabbath and their favorite metal/punk bands growing up.
