Skating Polly have revealed the details of their new album.
'The Make It All Show', the follow up to last year's 'New Trick' EP, will arrive on May 4 in North America and May 11 elsewhere.
Head below to watch the video for the record's first single, Queen For A Day, along with its artwork and tracklist. Speaking about the former, which was co-written by Exene Cervenka of punk band X, Kelli Mayo said:
“The lyrics for this song came from a conversation we had backstage with Exene about the old game show Queen For A Day. The premise of the show was that women with tragic stories (sick children, dead husbands, poverty, etc) would compete against each other for applause from the audience. The winner would get a washing machine or whatever household prize they asked for and be crowned Queen For A Day. Months after this conversation Exene sent me lyrics in a text and we wrote the song around them. She's singing on the second and third choruses too. We wanted the video to emulate the old show but also look like it was directed by John Waters.”

1. Classless Act
2. Little Girl Blue and the Battle Envy
