Making a grand big entrance with her debut single - Penny Lame releases debut track ‘Lipstick’. 

Filled to the bring with sweaty high energy alt-pop-punk sounds, fueling the sounds of early Paramore and Tonight Alive, this track is about pushing back against a partner’s abusive behavior and rising out of the toxic fumes. 

“Every time they hurt me, I would add another few lines and imagine I was screaming at them in the microphone”, Penny says of her writing inspiration.

Growing up in Nashville, TN, Gracen Hill wasn't allowed to be Penny Lame. She was someone else. Not knowing where she fit in, the boys would make her cry and she expressed herself by filling up her school notebooks with lyrics and scribbling songs all over her hands. She remembers singing “Phenomena" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and wanting to be Karen O more than anything. This aesthetic did not fit in with the Nashville scene 15 years ago.
