Upsurging rock and roll duo Girl Tones today release their new single and video ‘Blame.’ In each of their early singles, the sisters Kenzie and Laila have shown the ease with which they can shapeshift through the many subgenres of rock. With ‘Blame,’ they are able to take the remnants of youthful angst and analyze it under the more mature lens. While conflict never seems to go away, the way the band approaches it sure has.

Kenzie shares, “Originally I wrote ‘Blame’ totally differently, it was out of teenage spite, the lyrics were blaming everyone but myself. When we brought it to the studio, being in my mid-twenties, I now have a very different outlook on life and rewrote most of it. As you get older, relationships become more complicated, truthfully who is to blame if they fail? In the song we play with that idea of right and wrong, pride and vulnerability. ‘Blame’ explores the emotional weight of unresolved conflict and how the need for accountability can clash with pride and pain. It’s difficult to pursue forgiveness in yourself and others.”

Filmed in the ‘70s wonderland that is Nashville’s Dive Motel, the official video for ‘Blame’ is cheeky and pure sisterly fun. Directed by Casey Pierce, the vintage-tinged cut plays up the trope of sibling rivalries from pulling pranks to diving the bedroom down the middle and not crossing the line.
