Courtney (Black Adidas)

SPB: Looking at the growth between your first and second albums, what stands out to you most about how Black Adidas is taking shape?

Courtney: I would say what stands out to me the most is that our live sound is really starting to feel more alive, and more exciting to us. The band is better than we’ve ever been, and the reaction has been incredible. We’re at the point where we aren’t just presenting our music, but expressing something that feels meaningful, at least to us. And I think it’s making our new songs likewise more meaningful, and more honest.
