Colleen Green

Singer/songwriter Colleen Green is known for her sweetly gritty, lo- to mid-fi punk-pop sound. Influenced by bands like the Ramones, Sublime, and the Descendents, Green's early self-recorded tapes like 2010's Milo Goes to Compton and 2011's Cujo, were breezy punk- and new wave-inflected productions featuring Green's home-blended mix of vocals, guitars, keyboards, and simple drum-machine beats. She's retained her lighthearted spirit even as her music has grown more ambitious and musically organic, as on 2015's I Want to Grow Up and her 2021 sophisticated take on '90s alt-rock, Cool.
