Charlie PS – Rock Era Magazine https://rockeramagazine.com The Risa of a New Era! Fri, 14 Feb 2025 17:00:37 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 Charlie PS Shares Defiant New Single “Mouthpiece” https://rockeramagazine.com/charlie-ps-mouthpiece/ Fri, 14 Feb 2025 17:00:37 +0000 https://rockeramagazine.com/?p=44083 Vancouver-based modern-rock artist Charlie PS is back with her fiery new single, “Mouthpiece.” The track combines gritty guitars, confident vocals, and Charlie‘s signature ‘play on words’ lyricism to deliver a satirical yet empowering anthem for the digital age.

“Mouthpiece” oozes fierce, alternative-rock energy while offering a nod of defiant satire to today’s increasingly opinionated and vocally indulgent crowd.

“Mouthpiece” is an homage to everyone who has ever given unsolicited advice or yelled out their opinion in a room full of people who just don’t want to hear it. The world feels like a noisy place these days, and in 2025, I’m setting boundaries with those who just can’t keep their thoughts to themselves. – Charlie PS

The sound of Charlie PS is a sonic melting pot of rock and blues, inspired by legends like Stevie Nicks and Ann Wilson and modern acts such as Grace Potter and ZZ Ward. Her signature blend of strong vocals and energetic riffs shines on “Mouthpiece.”

“Mouthpiece” follows Charlie‘s 2023 EP, Even If It Kills Me, which received accolades from Exclaim! and BBC Radio. Known for her breakout success with her 2018 debut EP, Little Miss Dysfunctional, Charlie‘s career includes multiple award nominations and features on Spotify Editorial playlists like Morning Blues and CBC‘s Rock Canada.

Inspired by a wide variety of rock and blues from legends of the 20th century such as Stevie Nicks and Ann Wilson, to modern rock artists that include Grace Potter and ZZ Ward, Charlie borrows elements of strong vocals and energetic riffs and uses them to create her own blended sound rooted in modern-rock.

Prompted by a tendency to consider the worst case scenario, “Down to the Devil” is the latest single from her upcoming EP, Even If It Kills Me. The main hook, “Take my oh-weary soul, Take me down, down to the devil,” came to her after watching prison shows and noticing a recurring theme of southern influenced soundtracks. The chain sound was captured by continuously dropping an industrial chain on the studio floor until it made just the right sound to use as a sample, in order to call back to the inspiration.

Her latest single “Even If It Kills Me” takes its dynamic chorus, layered with an ensemble of vocals and live horns and its modern rock inspired instrumentation and calls out to the risk takers and the secretly insecure, reminding them that sometimes it’s okay to just be you. “Even If It Kills Me” is the second of three singles to be released this year from her five song EP, also titled Even If It Kills Me, later in November.

“Even If It Kills Me” is inspired by Charlie’s journey through COVID after much self-work and going from a chronic overthinker to being in a much more peaceful and carefree head space, as well as the notion of persevering through things that you love to do, even if they aren’t always easy – for Charlie, this situation is about the music industry and being a musician. 

“I feel that a lot of people agonize over their flaws and insecurities or just care too much and want to change into a version of themselves they think will make them happier,” says Charlie. “But I hope that ‘Even If It Kills Me’ will help remind people that being the realest version of yourself and showing the world the good, the bad and the ugly is a much more freeing place to be in.”
