Wallice - Mr Big Shot [EP]

“With the song that’s been stuck in my head for a few days… Or maybe more than a few days….”– NPR’s All Songs Considered on “Best Friend”

“that hook flares up with abandon and the guitars buzz like the song is angling for spins on a long-lost ‘90s alt-rock radio station. The last 10 seconds of “Best Friend” offer the listener a chance to catch his or her breath, and considering the preceding swirl, it’s much-needed.” – Billboard on “Best Friend”

“the perfect combination of soothing sounds that lead into explosive drops that complement each other very well.” – Lyrical Lemonade

“24-year-old singer-songwriter Wallice has a knack for powerful storytelling.” – UPROXX

“Driving hooks and lyrics that punch you in the gut…” – Pigeons & Planes

“Kicking off with a groove that’s less a distant cousin and more a next-door neighbor of Radiohead’s “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” it doesn’t take long for the simmering tension to boil over into one of Wallice’s signature bubblegrunge choruses. An automated voice spells out the song’s title accompanied by some dissonant saxophones, and before you know it “disappear” vanishes as quickly as it took shape.” – The FADER

“Her spunky discography and vernacular of playfully-snide and self-deprecating quips are ever-so relatable; making her a true superstar on the rise.” – Atwood Magazine

The wait is over with Wallice releasing her highly anticipated new EP, Mr Big Shot, via Dirty Hit. The EP hailed another exciting chapter for the LA artist as anticipation continues to grow for her debut album. Wallice tells us “Mr Big Shot is my third EP. It’s the most mature music I’ve made yet. It’s hard to put the difference into concrete terms, but sonically it’s a step up from my last work. I’m so proud of it. This EP continues to deal with growing up (a process that is ongoing, even at my age of 25). There are even a few love songs – my version of a love song, anyway.”

To celebrate the release of Mr Big Shot Wallice is releasing “Prepaid Wireless,” a song which follows previous singles, the subdued, Radiohead-esque “Disappear,” the raucous pop-punk cut, “Loser at Best” and the nostalgic lead single “Best Friend.” The newest single arrives with an accompanying visual.

On the new track Wallice shares, “This song was started with one of my favorite artists, Jonny Pierce from The Drums, who I’ve listened to since I was in high school. When the song was written, my mother was moving from Los Angeles to Georgia– it was a huge change and took a lot of getting used to. When she lived in LA, I would see my Mom multiple times a week; since she moved, I only see her a couple times a year. To be honest I’m still getting used to it – but when I was writing “Prepaid Wireless,” it felt like my world was changing drastically. Even though it’s a song about my mom, I think it can easily sound like a song about a romantic interest as well. It’s hard to get used to change, and this song confronts that.”
