First, we are massive fans of Bristol-based alt-rock two-piece Pollyanna Blue (I mean if you haven’t checked them out yet… We don’t know what you are waiting for ) .

Today Pollyanna Blue (Zoe Collins (guitar and vocals) and Rich Earle (Bass and vocals).has announced that their debut EP ‘Trials and Tribulations’, will be released on Friday, June 23rd .

Recorded with Ash Scott (Memorist, Harper, Aniimalia), Trials and Tribulations was inspired by personal and abstract experiences, from the trials of being in a band that started right before a pandemic, to the personal tribulations of battling with your own mental health.

Allowing herself to use music to channel unresolved trauma and recurring issues, each song gets up close and personal with vocalist and lyricist Zoe Collins‘ journey of internal development and emotional maturity. She hopes that someone, even just one person, can relate to her music and be able to be taken on the same journey of self discovery from it.

Pollyanna Blue are a brilliantly talented group that write authentic and heartfelt songs that are relatable and genuine.

We are in for an extra treat today because, before the EP is released we get the amazing new single “Strong Enough “

“Strong Enough” is a powerful anthem that is there to lift you up and fight back when you are feeling down and out. It’s a reminder that despite how you feel, deep down, you are good enough and strong enough to overcome all that gets in your way.

There is this raw electrifying energy surrounding “Strong Enough “ in a world that is constantly changing it is nice to have a band like Pollyanna Blue and a song like “Strong Enough “ to get you through.
