Bionic Buzz® interview Austin Held from the Seattle Alternative band PRETTY AWKWARD over zoom. We talked about where his passion for music came from, growing up in Seattle, their new single ‘Woozy,’ the music video for it, upcoming album GET WEIRD and more.
PRETTY AWKWARD are inviting fans to GET WEIRD with the release of their debut full length album on Sept. 1st, 2023 — listen HERE. The 11 track efforts covers a wide range of topics – from being young and reckless and having too good a time, to the vagaries of love in its many forms, and the ennui from boredom that sometimes overtakes us. They skillfully blend alternative rock and pop sounds into an intoxicating mix. We are all pretty awkward sometimes in life – and this collection of songs tells the story with grooves and good humor.
About PRETTY AWKWARD:
