Skating Polly Share Video For New Song Hollywood Factory

Skating Polly have shared a new track.
Hollywood Factory is the latest to be cut from their forthcoming album, 'The Make It All Show', the follow up to last year's 'New Trick' EP, which is set to arrive on May 4 in North America and May 11 elsewhere.
Discussing the track, vocalist and basist Kelli Mayo said:
"We first wrote "Hollywood Factory" after I filmed a pilot for a TV show and the possibility of it getting picked up was all I could think about for a while. The lyrics were meant to poke fun at the idea of going to Hollywood and selling out, or at least trying to sell out if Hollywood will have you. Anyway, it didn't get picked up and we kinda swept the song under the rug with it, but right before we went in to record the album, we decided to work on it again, this time with Kurtis on board as our third member. We made the lyrics darker at some points and just more sarcastic overall. Despite the sarcasm, It's probably the most poppy song on the record and the most cheerful one for sure!"
Check out the video below, which features a cameo by Allison Wolfe of Bratmobile, Ex Stains, and Cool Moms, to name a few.
