Imagine this: Avril Lavigne’s Let Go and Paramore’s Riot! had a wild kid who grew up quoting Shakespeare and waving rainbow flags. That’s basically ettie’s new banger, “The Song I Scream in the Shower”. It’s not just music— it’s a loud “screw you” to everyone who said she couldn’t make it. With guitars that crash like waves and drums that boom like thunder, ettie’s hooks are sharper than the pins on your favourite punk jacket. She’s the voice of all us misfits who are sick of hiding.
ettie’s backstory reads like a rock opera script. She taught herself guitar at 9, then by 16 was playing grungy London bars, keeping pop-punk alive when everyone else thought it was lame. She studied Shakespeare in college, which explains why her lyrics hit you so hard but sound so damn clever. After coming out, she threw away all her secrets and mixed Patti Smith‘s raw energy with those catchy boy band choruses we all secretly love. But it was a scary fall in 2024 that nearly paralysed her – that’s when she decided life’s too short to make boring music.
“The Song I Scream in the Shower” is all about that feeling. You know when you’re in the shower, thinking of all the things you should’ve said in that argument last week (or five years ago)? That’s this song. It’s angry and thoughtful all at once. Ettie’s voice goes from snarky eye-rolls to full-on stadium yells. The music? It’s like stepping back into 2005 when pop-punk ruled the world. Imagine if Hayley Williams‘ dreamy vocals crashed into Avril’s “take no crap” boldness, but with ettie’s own twist of “holy crap, we’re all gonna die someday” firmness.
Existential Magazine nailed it: ettie’s music is “arena-filling,” and here, she’s commandeering the mic like a general rallying troops. The song’s title alone captures its genius—it’s the song for anyone who’s ever screamed their truth under steaming water, transforming shame into power. Every chord, every lyric, every shout in “The Song I Scream in the Shower” feels like a rebirth—a reminder that survival isn’t quiet. Give it a spin and we bet you’ll be hooked. Listen to it again and you might wonder how you made it this far without it.
