2PM LIVE: Molly Payton 

New Zealand born, UK based indie musician Molly Payton joins us for a live performance. 

Molly’s first EP ‘Mess’ (released in early 2020) was co-produced with Dirty Hit Signee Oscar Lang and was a reflective look at Molly’s teenage years. Her newest EP ‘Porcupine’ is louder and gutsier. "I’ve definitely gravitated towards a heavier, very ‘90s sound,” she says. “I love slacker bands like Happyness and big, noisy bands like Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pavement and Nirvana.”
