Colleen Green

Colleen Green writes indie-pop that grins with a Ramones haircut—LA’s Hardly Art lifer whose Milo Goes to Compton, Sock It to Me, I Want to Grow Up, and Cool trade anxiety for hooks without losing the DIY sneer. Gordon Raphael’s production on Cool (Someone Else, I Wanna Be a Dog, Posi Vibes) polished the edges without sanding the personality; LA Weekly readers once crowned her Best Solo Artist for a reason. Bandcamp and @colleengreen420 still feel like a fanzine with better melodies. Cool anniversary shows prove the catalog ages into confidence, not nostalgia.
