US Tour Dates 2022: 4.15 – Westland, MI @ Joy Manor 4.16 – Fort Wayne, IN @ The Ruin 4.17 – Indianapolis, IN @ The Emerson Theater 4.19 – Louisville, KY @ Mag Bar 4.21 – Fort Walton Beach, FL @ Jimmy’s Jukebox 4.22 – Tallahassee, FL @ The Warrior On The River 4.23 – Orlando, FL @ Earthday Birthday (w/Godsmack) * 4.23 – Orlando, FL @ EDBD Tattoo Takeover at Ace Cafe ** 4.24 – Tampa, FL @ Brass Mug 4.25 – Jacksonville, FL @ Jack Rabbits 4.26 – Spartanburg, SC @ Ground Zero 4.27 – Fredericksburg, VA @ The Rec Center 4.28 – Mechanicsburg, PA @ Lovedraft’s Brewing Co. 4.29 – Akron, OH @ The Vortex 4.30 – Toledo, OH @ Main Street Bar & Grill (w/The Convalescence) * (Living Dead Girl only) ** (Fate Destroyed only)

Living Dead Girl’s new release “Exorcism” is 11 banging tracks featuring Rennick channeling her inner “goth girl – gone bad” attitude. From the raging, down-tuned riffs of the title track and “Worship Me”, to the infectious, singalong chorus of “Villain” to the enticing, taunting melodies of “Beautiful” and “Alive”, Rennick commands your full attention.

The album has produced four singles: “Alive”, Poltergeist”’s first single, which received airplay on Toronto’s mainstream rock station 94.9 The Rock, 89.1 Max FM in Barrie, Orilia and the Muskokas, X92.9 Calgary, X100.7 – Red Deer’s Alternative and CBC Radio Canada online, “Escape”, “Exorcism” and “Poltergeist”.

“This journey began over four years ago, and after all the blood, sweat and tears I put into creating my debut album, I am beyond excited and proud to finally unleash ‘Exorcism’ to the world”, says frontwoman Molly Rennick . “This record expresses my personality better than anything else ever could, and the energy and passion on it are going to hook you the moment you listen to it”.

Formed in 2017, Living Dead Girl’s style is a unique combination of goth-inspired heavy metal meets fellow Canadian frontwoman Avril Lavigne, possessing an amalgam of genres including rock, metal, industrial, goth, pop and punk rock. The music perfectly encapsulates Rennick’s personality, which she admits is a dichotomy of “one wears baby pink and Hello Kitty and listens to pop music, and the other a goth girl in fishnet stockings who listens to dark heavy metal”. The 21-year-old Rennick’s amazing vocal range sees her seamlessly switching from taunting, high-pitched croons, to menacing, harsh barks, to haunting growls with relative ease.

Music interviews, living dead girl blends metal, 2000s era pop on not that innocent ep.

Molly Rennick – Rock Confidential Cover

Living Dead Girl is a unique combination of goth-inspired heavy metal meets Avril Lavigne, blending genres including rock, metal, punk pop, industrial, and goth. The brainchild of vocalist and songwriter Molly Rennick , her personality is a dichotomy of “one wears baby pink and Hello Kitty and listens to pop music, and the other a goth girl in fishnet stockings who listens to dark heavy metal.”

Living Dead Girl exploded onto the alternative music scene with their debut album Exorcism in 2021. The album’s first hit single, “Alive,” reached the Billboard charts with two weeks at #1 most added song on the Mainstream Rock Indicator and #17 on the Mainstream Rock Indicator Chart. The official music video for “Alive” perfectly introduced the metal world to everything Living Dead Girl has to offer. The follow-up videos for “Poltergeist” and “Exorcism” racked up thousands of views, establishing a core audience for the unique sounds of Living Dead Girl.

The band recently released the Not That Innocent covers EP. The album features heavy versions of 2000s era pop songs from artists like P!nk, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Hilary Duff, and Avril Lavigne.

“This EP is a love letter to my childhood and the iconic female artists who inspired me to pick up a microphone in the first place,” Rennick explains. “While I did grow up surrounded by rock music, I do also have a lot of nostalgia for the pop music from that era. These songs I chose to cover are songs that I performed for my stuffed animals in my living room when I was four years old. Now as an artist myself, I wanted to dive into that nostalgia and honor these pop stars who inspired me with my own version of their songs.”

On tour now in support of Not That Innocent , Living Dead Girl will be making a stop in Knoxville, TN, at Open Chord on May 11. Rock Confidential caught up with Molly to talk about the new EP, relocating to the United States from Canada, and her inspiration as an artist.

Molly, thanks for taking time out for this! Tell me about coming up with the vision for Living Dead Girl and what made you pursue music as a career.

I honestly can’t remember a point in my life where I wasn’t die-hard set on being a musician. I don’t really know what started it. I don’t remember a specific point in my life where I thought that. It’s always been in my brain. I grew up singing along to music and practicing dance moves in my room. I used to get my whole family together at dinners and make them buy tickets and watch me sit in my room and sing Avril Lavigne songs. I’ve been a performer my entire life. I can’t answer what made me want to do this. It’s just who I am and what I feel like I was meant to do. With Living Dead Girl specifically, I’ve always liked really dark imagery, heavy music, the screaming, the down-tuned guitar riffs. At the same time I like to have fun. I like it to be upbeat. I like it to be catchy and something people can sing along to. I like people to be able to jump and dance and throw their fists up at the show. I don’t want it to just be super heavy metal. I’ve always loved those two different worlds, those two different types of music. I really wanted to combine those two things. I’m very girly and very feminine, very fun and positive. But I’m also really into horror and darker imagery and screaming and everything. Living Dead Girl is really my two worlds combined together, my self-expression.

Your debut album, Exorcism , came out in 2021. The production, the visuals, the music videos… it looks and sounds like there was a lot of hard work – and money – involved. That’s something to be proud of.

Thank you. I can confirm it was expensive! (laughs)

Releasing an album during COVID had to be a challenge. Especially the touring aspect.

It was really hard. We did hold back on it longer because of that. We were originally planning on releasing Exorcism in October of 2020. We held off until June of 2021 because without the ability of playing live shows to promote it we had to go back to the drawing board for how we were going to release it and how we were going to market it. If there’s no live shows, how can we make people aware this exists?

We’re into week two of the second leg of the “Not That Innocent” tour. How are things going so far?

It’s going really great. We’re hitting some places that we’ve played before. Tonight we’re in Charlotte. It’s our second time playing there. We’ve also hit some new cities we’ve never been to before. It’s exciting for us to do a little bit of both – going back to a place for a second time and seeing how much bigger the crowd is than the first time. It may be some of the same people but this time they brought a friend. It’s really cool to see the growth. Going into a new place you don’t know what to expect. We played the other night in Piedmont, South Carolina. That’s a city I’d never heard of. But I’m from Canada so my American geography is not the best yet. But we played in a city I’d never heard of and there were people wearing our shirts, they knew the lyrics, they were telling us how they discovered us. Some had been following me online for several years. It’s equally exciting going back to the familiar places and playing the new places. We’re getting a bit of both on this particular tour.

Personally, the past few months have been wild for you. You moved to the United States, you’re getting married…

Yeah, this past year of my life has been chaos but in all the best ways. Moving to the U.S. is when I feel everything began for us. The struggle of trying to tour while living in Canada… the country’s so big you can’t just drive from city to city the way you can in the States. I felt very limited with my touring abilities in Canada. I knew I needed to move to the States to hit more cities in shorter distances. Once I moved to the States it was like I hit Play. C’mon, let’s go.

How has the move to the States changed the band dynamic?

It has changed it a little bit. Our bassist Jordan (Storring) still lives in Canada. Every time we go on tour he can’t just drive to my house anymore. He has to jump on a plane and go to Florida to start the tour. It did add work in certain ways. It is more of a headache in some aspects but I don’t regret it. It was a smart move and it opened a lot of doors. We’re working with so many people here. I feel like the music industry is here. We have a bigger audience here. It has changed things but for the better overall.

For those not familiar with Living Dead Girl, who are some of your influences?

The biggest one that sticks out – the obvious answer – is Avril Lavigne. She was my first idol. She inspired me. She also was from a small town in Canada and look what she’s done. If she can do it, she’s showing me that it’s possible. It doesn’t matter that I lived in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. She inspired me at a very young age. I owe her a lot of credit. There is some influence from her in the sound of our music as well. There is some pop-punk in the guitar riffs. There is some Avril inspired attitude in the vocals, particularly the clean vocals and the choruses. There is an early 2000s era pop punk attitude in the vocals. When it comes to the screaming I’m really influenced by Motionless In White, In This Moment, Marilyn Manson. Those were the bands I was listening to as a teenager. I really wanted to learn how to scream. I thought it would be fun. The first song I ever learned to scream along to was “Whore” by In This Moment. I tried to sing Motionless In White when I was 15 but it was a little too deep for me. Singing along with Maria Brink is how I found my sound. She gets a lot of credit for that.

Let’s talk about the Not That Innocent EP. How did you choose which songs to cover? Were there others you thought about covering?

The five songs that we did choose, I didn’t put that much thought into it quite honestly. It was a no-brainer for me. If I was going to do a covers EP I wanted there to be a theme. The songs needed to be linked somehow. I wanted to do early 2000s pop music. That was a huge part of my childhood. I didn’t always listen to rock and metal. I listened to Britney Spears and Hillary Duff like every other girl my age did. I thought it would be really fun to take pop music and make it heavy. I thought, “Who were the female pop stars that influenced me that I had fun singing along to?” Immediately I thought, “Britney Spears, Hilary Duff, Avril Lavigne, P!nk, Christina Aguilera.” When I was choosing the songs I had to consider what would translate to metal. I wanted to do kind of unexpected songs. The first Britney song I thought about was “Toxic.” Everyone loves that song. I love that song. But I heard so many metal covers of it. That main riff has been done so many times. That was too expected. “Oops!… I Did It Again” – nobody would expect it to be a metal song. The same with “Sk8er Boi.” Who the hell has ever done a metal version of that? I don’t think it exists. With “Come Clean,” the Hilary Duff song, I thought there needed to be a kind of slower song on the album. My first thought was “So Yesterday” because it’s a bit more upbeat but “Come Clean” is everyone’s favorite and it’s a slow song. Doing a slow song as a metal version gave us the opportunity to go a bit more industrial, which I really love doing. When we were doing “Come Clean,” I told the producer to go for the same vibe as “Poltergeist,” our original song. I originally wanted to do “Just Like A Pill” by P!nk but I didn’t think it was upbeat enough. If I could do “Get The Party Started” it could be a metal banger. The one song I wanted to do that didn’t make it on – I feel like six songs would be getting into full length album territory – is “Since You’ve Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson. I’ve heard several metal bands cover that song before so I didn’t think it would be as creative.

What covers are you doing in your live set?

We are doing “Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne and “Fighter” by Christina Aguilera. I felt like one cover wasn’t enough. It is called the “Not That Innocent” tour and we are trying to promote the EP. I normally wouldn’t want to have multiple covers in the set. I like people to hear our original music, especially if that’s their first impression of us. I’ve been discovering that doing “Sk8er Boi” and “Fighter” live really gets people’s attention. When they realize it sounds familiar… by the time we get to the chorus in “Fighter” I see people going “Wait a minute…” I don’t introduce that song. We just start it. Before I know it everyone in the bar is singing along to it. People know “Sk8er Boi” as soon as they hear the riff. They’re really fun live songs. I feel like if you can appreciate all different styles, all different genres, and admit that you think these songs are fun – that makes you so much cooler and a badass metalhead instead of saying “No, that’s not metal enough for me.”

Look, they know those songs. No matter how “metal” they seem.

Exactly. It’s nostalgia. Whether it came out when you were in high school, I personally was three years old when “Sk8er Boi” came out, I still remember it. Those were the first songs I was learning the lyrics to and singing along to at my parent’s house. No matter where you’re at in life, it’s nostalgic to hear songs from 20 years ago. If you can mentally bring somebody back to a time and a place you can transform their mindset. You can completely change their mood. That’s why everybody loves older movies. No matter how metal you are you still want to hear songs you listened to as a child.

As busy as 2023 has been for you, are you writing new music now?

I have so many new lyrics in my phone. I record voice memos of myself singing melody lines because if it just write the lyrics down I might not remember the way I was hearing it in my head at the time. I am constantly writing and thinking about the next project. I’m not planning on going into the studio and banging out another full-length album like Exorcism this year. I maybe want to do a few singles. I feel like Exorcism has more life in it. I want more people to know it exists. We’re having fun with the covers EP. Like I mentioned earlier, I’m getting married soon. So I’m planning for a wedding, too. I really want people to discover all this music we’ve already done. As much as I’m always creating, I’m not ready to go record a second album just yet. I’d like to focus on my personal life for just a few minutes. (laughs)

Molly, thanks again for taking time for this. What would you like to say to your Knoxville area friends about the May 11 show at Open Chord?

LIVE: LIVING DEAD GIRL – May 11, 2023

Venue: Open Chord Stage

City: Knoxville, TN

Date: May 11, 2023

Review and Photographs by: Rachel Craig ( https://www.rachelcraigmedia.com/ )

The Canadian metal band Living Dead Girl made a stop at the Open Chord Stage in Knoxville on their Not That Innocent Tour – and it even became the unintentional last date on this run. The show was set to begin with local rock band Nightfly, who unfortunately had to drop the show. The Almas kicked off the night instead with some incredible powerhouse rock and roll that brought almost as much love from the crowd as the headliner. Living Dead Girl was created by vocalist and Toronto native Molly Rennick, who showed off her incredible range of clean singing and harsh screams while keeping the crowd hyped up. The band is known for their recent EP of pop cover songs, like Avril Lavigne’s “Sk8er Boi” and Christina Aguilera’s “Fighter,” but they also performed original songs that prove that Rennick could easily be the next successful frontwoman in metal. Living Dead Girl also debuted a brand new song that has not been released on streaming services yet, called “Dysfunctional.” The band’s stage presence was also worth noting, since their gothic aesthetic, candles, tombstones, and rose-adorned mic stands all painted a spooky scene that complimented their style and sound perfectly. Unfortunately after this show, Living Dead Girl encountered transmission issues with their van on the way to their next date and had to cancel the rest of the tour dates in Glasgow, Huntsville, and Birmingham. According to their Instagram page, the band made it home safe and will be returning to Tennessee to drive the van back to Florida, and they have set up a GoFundMe to help cover the expenses.

Setlist: Alive – Beautiful – Poltergeist – Fighter – Dysfunctional – Sk8er Boi – Give Up – Exorcism – Worship Me

LIVING DEAD GIRL Drops Head-Turning New Single “Ugly”

Molly Rennick shares, “I wrote ‘Ugly’ from a place of feeling jaded and exasperated. I know most women are familiar with this exact feeling. ‘ Ugly’ is about wanting to be taken seriously and listened to, without being belittled or objectified. There’s so much more to us than what’s on the outside; this song is for everyone who’s ever been made to feel like there isn’t.”

Check out “Living Dead Girl’s Empowering Anthem “Ugly” here:

“ Living Dead Girl ” is, of course, the title of a classic Rob Zombie disco-metal stomper. It’s also the name of a Canadian modern metal project helmed by bandleader and vocalist Molly Rennick, who’s following in the footsteps of ol’ Rob, but with her own distinct twist. Frankensteining together elements of goth, metal, industrial, pop and punk…” – Revolver Magazine

“With a mall goth look and a sound that blends alt-metal and pop, it’s easy to think of Florida-based outfit Living Dead Girl as a sort of American version of Babymetal — or maybe a less avant-garde Poppy. And while there’s certainly that collision of musical genres, this band should absolutely be on your radar if you enjoy either of those bands.” – Metal Sucks

About LIVING DEAD GIRL :

Orlando-based female-fronted metal band LIVING DEAD GIRL exploded onto the alternative metal scene with their debut album Exorcism in 2021. Created by vocalist and songwriter Molly Rennick , produced by the critically acclaimed Mitchell Marlow (In This Moment, Papa Roach, All That Remains), and mastered by Howie Weinberg (U2, Nirvana, Metallica), Exorcism has 11 banging tracks including the hit single Alive, which reached the Billboard charts with two weeks at #1 as the most added song on the Mainstream Rock Indicator, and #17 on the Mainstream Rock Indicator Chart. Alive also reached #3 on the Top 10 Greatest Gainers Secondary Market Rock Chart, #10 on SiriusXM Canada’s Indigenous Music Countdown, and #5 on the Top 50 Secondary Market Rock chart! The album’s success has also had the band interviewed by and featured in dozens of world-renowned magazines including Revolver, Hustler, Outburn and more.

Molly Rennick ’s bold presence on stage and in videos attracts large audiences around the world, with the band’s YouTube videos in the hundreds of thousands of views, and regular CD and merchandise orders being shipped all around the world from Australia to Japan. An unmentioned fact about Molly is that she was thought to be a stillborn at birth, however survived and grew into the alternative siren she is today, which boasts a powerful and accurate underlying story to the band’s name “ Living Dead Girl .” The momentum Living Dead Girl is moving at as a young independent band that released their first album in the middle of a pandemic is unbelievable, until you hear it for yourself. A seamless hybrid of goth, rock, nu metal, pop and punk, Living Dead Girl has distinctly created their own genre that markets to the masses.

In 2023 Living Dead Girl released a covers EP, Not That Innocent , and the Deluxe Edition of Exorcism, played 47 shows and toured with Raven Black and was also a featured artist at the 2023 Canadian Music Week. A 2024 Summer tour is in the works.

Living Dead Girl is a force to be reckoned with, and is, as Underground Nation proclaimed, “the future of heavy music!”

LIVING DEAD GIRL – Female-fronted Canadian metal band

Interview conducted on November 16, 2020

by Dan Locke

LIVING DEAD GIRL’s style is a unique combination of Marilyn Manson meets fellow Canadian frontwoman Avril Lavigne, possessing an amalgam of genres including goth, rock, metal, industrial, pop and punk rock. The music perfectly encapsulates Rennick’s personality, which she admits is a dichotomy of “one wears baby pink and Hello Kitty and listens to pop music, and the other a goth girl in fishnet stockings who listens to Marilyn Manson.” The 21-year-old Rennick’s amazing vocal range sees her seamlessly switching from taunting, high-pitched croons, to menacing, harsh barks, to haunting growls with relative ease

What is your upbringing?

Molly Rennick: I’m from a small city in Ontario, about an hour or so away from Toronto–so I just tell people I’m from Toronto to save a step (and it sounds cooler). My parents are restaurant owners so I started working there when I was about twelve or thirteen, which I’m grateful for because I learned pretty young that a work ethic is everything and had the opportunity to begin making money. 

Do you feel that your life would have been different if your dad got his way and named you Halen- because he like Eddie Van Halen?

I think it’s a totally badass name, and it would’ve been so cool to have such a unique and uncommon name, but I’m slightly grateful that it’s not my name, only because I can imagine I would get called “Helen” a lot by mistake! And I’d never find my name on a keychain in a souvenir shop. 

How did you discover music?

I just grew up around it; as long as I can remember, there’s always been music playing. I was born into a family who loved rock n’ roll and concerts so it was impossible not to pick up on it!

Why did you tell your parents that you would going to be a rock star at 4?

I was the kind of kid that always loved being the centre of attention; I was always performing in one way or another. That, combined with the love of music and singing, had me dead-set on being a performer from the very beginning of my life. I never imagined myself doing anything else; being a musician was the only choice!

How did you start to write music?

I remember trying to write lyrics when I was as young as a third grader…so about nine years old? I loved Avril Lavigne and part of what I thought made her cool was that she wrote her own songs, so I wanted to do that, too—I  never  liked the idea of somebody else writing lyrics for me, I thought it makes the music so much less personal to the artist. I would just write down lyrics and sing them out loud making up melody lines as I go along. 

Describe your music

My music is heavy and dark, with headbanging down-tunes riffs, huge choruses, and catchy hooks. It’s equally as heavy as it is melodic, with inspiration taken from all sorts of places such as Marilyn Manson to Avril Lavigne. I mix screams and growls with high-pitched, feminine attitude.

How did you get your first guitar, and do you still have it?

My dad bought me a kids-sized black and white Fender Telecaster when I was about seven? I think he actually bought it for my older brother, who showed no interest in it, then it just sorts of became mine. We do still have it! 

What is your guitar of choice now? Year, make and model?

I honestly don’t play much guitar now as its kind of went on the back burner for a few years while I focused on transforming my vocals; but my favourite guitar I own that I’d reach for first would be my Avril Lavigne signature “Skull & Crossbones” Telecaster. 

What was your first performance at like?

There’s been so many performances over the years I’m trying to think which I would consider my official “first” one- the first time I sang on some silly kids’ audition-style TV show (age 6), the second time I did that but for a different show (age 8), or when I started doing singing recitals that my singing teacher ran (age 10)… those were basically a case of overly confident child who has stage presence, but can’t carry a tune in a bucket. Those were just embarrassing for myself and my parents alike. Fast forward to my very first ACTUAL gig; Molly Rennick solo singing in a bar with a guitar at age 15 or 16—that was fun! It was at a small local bar as part of some weekend-long music festival and maybe 10 people showed up. It went well, other than some technical difficulties I remember them having with the speakers, and the fact that literally no one came, but that’s all a part of the first-few-gigs-experience!

What makes a good songwriter?

I think a good songwriter is somebody who can write songs that the audience can relate to, as well as something that gets stuck in your head. The melody is EVERYTHING; if it’s not catchy, I scrap it and start over. And at the same time your lyrics need to make the audience feel something, and anything that makes them feel like “this hits close to home”, or “this is so me”, is great because people are subconsciously looking for the need to feel understood, so as an artist it’s awesome to be able to make them feel like they’re not alone (in whatever situation it may be.)

Do you belong to any to songwriters’ organizations like the International singer-songwriter association?

What was the title of your first original song? Did you record it?

I would say my first ACTUAL original song would be Worship Me—anything I wrote before that never actually became a “song”, but rather just a pile of lyrics with no music to accompany them. Worship Me was the first original song I ever recorded, and it was Living Dead Girl’s very first single. (Currently not visible on Spotify, YouTube, etc—once the record comes out, everyone will understand why!)

How does the release of 3 independent singles different to your first full length album “Exorcism”?

The first three singles we released were very amateur, I will admit. They were recorded in local home studios and absolutely no hate on them or the people who helped me create them whatsoever, but they weren’t the level of quality I was looking for. The upcoming record I went to LA to write and record with producer Mitchell Marlow, who’s worked with everyone from In This Moment, Papa Roach, Starset, New Years Day, All That Remains, etc. So, the quality of everything from the song writing, to the mixing and everything else is  much  more “next level” or professional, even, than anything else we’d done before. 

Tell me about your latest single “Alive”?

Alive was the very first song I wrote and recorded with Mitch, so it felt only fitting for it to be the first single we released off the record. Alive is such a huge song; the chorus gets stuck in everyone’s heads for  days  after listening. I remember when I was working on it with Mitch, I just kept telling him “I want it to be huge”, “the chorus has to be big”, etc, and I feel like we totally nailed that. The chanting in the choruses is seriously what gives it that anthem-vibe, and the lyrics totally make it easy to sing along to. It’s the perfect blend of heavy as fuck, and insanely catchy.

What is your favorite track on the album?

I think my favourite track on the album has got to be  Stronger . That song is the one that will surprise the listeners the most; it’s really not expected from the sound of the rest of the album. Everything from the lyrics, to my vocal performance in the song make it the closest to my heart. 

How do you stay healthy while performing?

I eat very healthy, because I’m the kind of person who, if I don’t eat a salad, some fruit, and drink a ton of water, I get SICK. Like, I don’t get how some people can live off chips, candy and pop because as much as I find those things delicious, they seriously make me feel horrible. So before performing I always try to eat something nutritious and filling (I don’t like to be hungry performing because then there’s no calories in me giving me energy); I also don’t do any drugs or smoke; and I usually only have one drink before any performance. I can NOT perform intoxicated so I save drinks for after I get off stage. 

What are you’re feeling about streaming music?

It hurts my feelings honestly (haha.) I still to this day go out and buy physical CDs the day they’re released, I mean of course I use Apple Music too for when I’m working out or whatever, but I always have a ton of CDs in my car. I just hate streaming so much because I know the artists don’t make very much money off it, and I feel like if I want their product, I should be paying for it. 

How can people forget about the origin hashtag # Sharp in a musical score?

I think societies changed so much as everything becomes more digital; I said “pound sign” once to a younger coworker and she stared at me blankly, then was like, “ohh, you mean a hashtag?” Everything’s just different with younger generations than it was for us! 

Digital vs. vinyl?

CD!!! Haha. I’d say Vinyl, I love owning something physical to represent the album. I love when one of my favourite artists releases a record and I get to actually hold a copy of it—it feels way cooler than to just download or stream it; I’ve always liked to look through the lyric booklets in the cases to see all the photography since it’s the visual representation the artist chose to pair to the music, so I like to see and appreciate that while I listen to it for the first time. 

What is the mental health situation of the world?

I would say it’s at an all-time low, at least the lowest I’ve ever seen in my lifetime. It’s super apparent that people are struggling, you can tell when you interact with them how much quicker people are to anger or become impatient because we’re all just worn so thin right now. Just from working in my parents’ restaurant, I’ve seen firsthand how the general public’s entire mood has shifted this year.

What song from the past is in your mind right now? Moreover, what is the meaning that song means to you?

My current jam would be I’m With You by Avril Lavigne, because the song is about being lost and that’s how I feel right now. 

How do you feel the Covid-19 virus going to affect the music business in the future?

I’m not very optimistic about the situation quite honestly, so my answer is going to be depressing. The industry’s ruined, I mean look at how many venues went out of business, and think of not just the artists but the crew people, the hundreds of people it takes to set up lighting and equipment; they’ve all been out a job almost a year now. There’s also been no income from touring, which, as we all know is more substantial than anything streaming could ever earn, so artists are really struggling. The economy is fucked, especially the entertainment industry. 

What have you been doing with your self-quarantine?

There are some days I work out, walk my dog, cook some great food, and then sing and work on some behind-the-scenes band work. Then there are days I can’t get my depressed ass out of bed. It’s so hit and miss how my mental health is going to be each day; some days I feel creative and manage to find some inspiration to do something cool, and other days I don’t even want to be alive and I stay in bed with my cats watching Disney movies. I’m trying to stay productive and creative the best I can, but it’s important to let yourself rest too so I don’t feel guilty about it when I need to do that.

How was it to play guitar by the candlelight?

John and I were practicing for an upcoming performance when the power went out, so we carried on with a dozen candles lit all around the room and it was super cozy and nice. 

How is your Molly Rennick calendar selling?

Not as good as past years since I think many people no longer care what day of the week it is and don’t need a calendar at all, hahaha. But it’s still doing well, it’s been a big hit every year I’ve done it (this is the fourth time now). I have some of the same people who have bought them every year since I’ve started and that’s awesome. 

How many cats do you have?

I have two rescue cats; my parents have three rescue cats plus a dog. It’s a petting zoo full of animals that had horrible living conditions, who have now been rescued and are spoiled rotten. They’re my pride and joy! 

How did you find out that Rob Halford like your version of “Black Wedding”?

I honestly hadn’t seen it at the time it’d happened; my mom is the one who noticed it! She was just scrolling through Instagram and saw my video, and where it says “liked by, so and so and __ others”, it said “Rob Halford Legacy” (his Instagram handle). She immediately screenshots it and sent it to John and I; he especially was really stoked because Rob Halford is his idol! 

You run RockStar Beauty. Do you think you can make it a thing to be The Beauty Goddess of Rock?

I would be pretty stoked about that! I plan on having my own makeup line someday, which stylistically would tie my music and my fashion sense together, so I think that’d be pretty cool to be known for beauty as well as my music.

95% of people said that they have changed the way they watch television. This includes people who don’t have television and using their computers to do streaming of programs and movies. Which is your favorite streaming channel?

I honestly watch the most movies on a small square TV with a built-in VHS in my room! My WIFI is garbage and my bedroom is the furthest away from the modem, so streaming often lags in my room; my extensive collection of classic Disney VHS tapes never fails to work! But for actual streaming my favourite platform is Disney+. I never got totally into Netflix or Crave or anything, but I use Disney+ probably more than most five-year-olds do.

You are in Canada. Do you think the ban on Tik Tok by the United States will cause any problems in Canada?

I honestly don’t really use TikTok, it makes me feel old (haha). I posted three videos, was pissed off at the lack of music selection, and never opened the app again. So maybe it’ll upset other people to not be able to use it, I know all the younger teenagers I know use it, but for me personally I won’t notice it’s gone (if it does get banned in Canada, too.)

Many artists are doing nightly concerts over either YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. In October that is going to change at least on Facebook. Facebook is cracking down on livestreamed shows that include recorded music with new terms of service, preventing artists from using the platform for “commercial or non-personal” purposes, unless they have obtained the relevant licenses.

The updated music guidelines state that users “may not use videos on our products [which include Instagram] to create a music listening experience […] This will include [Facebook] Live,” and stipulates that such content should be posted for the enjoyment of friends and family only. How do you think this will change the landscape of Facebook?

Live performances are still allowed, it’s just that you cannot upload a static image with music behind it, like an album cover with a recorded song playing; that’s just so they can keep those sorts of videos for YouTube, and keep Facebook about people engaging. So, I was shocked when I first heard that too, then realized you can still PERFORM music, just not upload recorded music, and I’m okay with that since I never used Facebook for that anyway; I save those videos for YouTube. 

How can bands keep their fans if they cannot play live in front of the fans and sell merch to them at the show?

Bands can keep their fans by releasing more music, even if it’s just a single, an acoustic version or remix; releasing any new content is exciting as a fan. Engaging with fans online really helps too, being responsive to comments, questions, Tweets, etc, really keeps people engaged. 

Is pay to play still a thing? Now pay to play also means thinks like playlist on the internet?

It unfortunately is and part of why I don’t think I’ll ever play a local show again—sadly where I live that’s pretty common, and I think it’s unacceptable. I mean, maybe if it’s a BRAND-NEW band who won’t fill the bar, or rather, turn people off from the bar (sorry, haha), the bar still needs to recoup their losses from drink sales and be able to make money too—I get that! They’re a business too and need to make money too. But when it’s a badass band with a draw, charging them to play in your venue is silly. When there’s a great band playing there are tons of people showing up and spending a fortune at the bar; that’s more than enough sales for the venue. The bands themselves aren’t known for being rich and being ripped off in ways like this is partly why; anything that makes it harder than it should be for us, I think is wrong. 

What about Holographic concerts in our living room?

I don’t think I’m prepared for that yet; remember, I watch VHS tapes, buy CDs, don’t like streaming music and don’t use TikTok; I haven’t caught up to liking new technology yet, haha. 

If you can’t do music what would you like to be doing?

If I couldn’t do music I would probably…. hmm, I don’t know, not enjoy life i guess… Music is my entire life so it’s hard to imagine it without it! My next passion after music would be makeup and beauty, so I think if I wasn’t a musician my next dream would be to be the CEO of a cosmetics company—but I don’t see why I can’t aim for both!

Anything you would like to say in closing.

Thank you for this interview! Everyone check out Living Dead Girl’s new single ALIVE, available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and literally everywhere else you listen to music! Thanks for reading! ♥
