Montreal Outfit Lady Susan Dissect the Validation Trap on 'Attention'

Setting up shop in Montreal in 2024, Lady Susan keep their hands on every single part of their output, tracking, mixing, and mastering their debut EP 'Teenage Revenge' themselves alongside shooting their own clips. 'Attention' pulls cues from Weezer, Biffy Clyro, and Jimmy Eat World, leaning on their punk roots to smash groovy, upbeat verses straight into a big, guitar-heavy chorus.

The song takes aim at screen feeds and the hunt for cheap internet approval, laying out the ugly parts of knowing the game is rigged while still playing along:

'While the world is in search of a sign They'll exploit the weak minds Anything to get likes

It's a phase on a time-scale Damage might remain The era of fake things And everyone's ashamed'

Instead of acting like they stand outside the problem, these lines point straight at the messy guilt of getting sucked into the feed anyway. By admitting they get caught up in the exact same cycle, the Montreal band skips the usual preachy tone, letting real frustration drive the song home.
