Los Angeles-based artist Bloodboy bridges the worlds of post-punk and pop while challenging gender roles and identity. Born Lexie Papilion in San Clemente, California, she channels the rawness and strength of Yeah Yeah Yeahs' Karen O, Juliette Lewis, and Debbie Harry with a sharp sense for melody and groove inspired by major influences like the Clash and David Bowie. Her debut EP, Best of Bloodboy, was released in late 2016. Recorded in Arnaudville, Louisiana with producer Thom Monahan, the six-song collection showcases her post-punk and electro-rock sound and confessional lyrics. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
