Then they betray you in the worst way it’s really what it is-typical heartbreak and all the emotions and all the hate and pain that comes with it. It was inspired by a person that I really, really cared for and loved. I guess that’s a good way to describe it. Moriah describes the band’s new single as “pretty heavy-hitting. The song has also gotten spins from iconic stations like 955KLOS and 95 WIIL Rock. Fusing the sounds of rock bands like Aerosmith, Evanescence, and Halestorm, they released their first single, “Hate,” which is garnering rave reviews and airplay-most recently, SiriusXM Octane added the single to their playlist.

It was bright pink-the Hello Kitty model.” I’d watch their concert videos and say, ‘that’s what I want to do.’” She recalls her first guitar, “My first guitar was a Squier Bullet Strat. Like I thought, Ace Frehley really was the absolute coolest. “When my dad got me into bands like the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Kiss, and Black Sabbath, I was just hooked on guitar. She began playing the guitar when she was five years old. Her father plays guitar and owns a music shop. Coming from a family with a musical background. And it all just worked out.”īella has a passion for rock. When I saw it, I thought there’s nothing to lose from at least just reaching out and sending my information and an audition video. I’ve been a huge fan of Halestorm since I was like ten. “That’s how I found out about them, actually. That post caught the eye of Berklee College of Music freshman Bella Perron. As fate would have it, one of Moriah’s biggest influences and supporters, Lzzy Hale of Halestorm, saw the ad and reposted it on her platforms. Moriah’s management company, Surface Management, placed an ad on social media. So, a lead guitar player was all that was needed. Moriah shared, “We had a little jam session together-me, Brooke and Ashley, at Brooke’s house, and it just felt right. They added a friend of Brooke’s, Ashley Suppa-who has been dubbed the “female version of Cliff Burton”-as their bass player. I had met Brooke, our drummer, through Instagram and found out that she only lived like forty minutes away from me, and I was like, ‘Well if that isn’t fate, I don’t know what is.’ The two of us had jammed a little bit and were ready to find some other players.” And boom, the idea of an all-female band came up,” says Moriah. I wanted to be a part of a cohesive band where we all work together. “I’ve always, always wanted to be a part of a band, not just Moriah Formica or the Moriah Formica band.

Plush consists of Moriah Formica on vocals and guitar, Brooke Colucci on drums, Ashley Suppa on bass, and lead guitarist, Bella Perron.
