Illuminati Hotties leader Sarah Tudzin describes her music as "tenderpunk," a self-constructed genre that fuses the energy of pop-punk with the melodic smarts of indie rock and a lyrical outlook that ponders the joys and calamities of being a grown-up under the age of 30. A successful producer and engineer, as well as a songwriter and recording artist, Tudzin writes songs that are deeply personal and witty at the same time, and her studio skills help give her music a subtle sophistication. She introduced the Illuminati Hotties to the world with 2018's Kiss Yr Frenemies, escaped from record label turmoil with a set of jagged pop gems on 2020's FREE I.H: This Is Not the One You've Been Waiting For, and 2021's Let Me Do One More pushed the emotional boundaries of both joy and self-doubt.
