PILLAR ARTISTS
REVIEW
"SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY" BY PRESIDENT STREET
"... an exciting fusion of genre pastiches and dance euphoria... a stunning summer single... Expect exciting synths reminiscent of Calvin Harris, a robust and commandeering drum section which glances to Daft Punk and well-delivered vocals which, at times, echo the melody of that in Whitney Houston’s anthem, “How Will I Know”. Esteemed as ‘ones to watch’ by The Daily Express, Essentially Pop and Headliner, President Street dazzle us with a hook you could hear in any club as people carouse all night long... the structure is well-balanced with airy, dreamy verses filled with gorgeous sounds and effects which precede powerful choruses nothing short of addictive and anthemic." - Full review by Harry Lowery:

REVIEW
PRESIDENT STREET - "SHE DRIVES ME CRAZY"
"... the perfect song to dance to on a Friday night... While it still keeps that 80s sound, the song’s use of electronic elements gives it that fresh new sound that transports the original song into the 21st century... (Ruby) keeps the listeners in with her sweet, yet passionate voice... The production of this song especially shines during the chorus, and it’s what makes this song stand out from the original... When it comes to what to expect from President Street this year, just know it will be exciting." - Full review by Chantal Charles below:

"...a true masterpiece of music... simply infectious... The vocal performance was absolutely breathtaking and flawlessly intertwined with the captivating rhythm of the song... every facet of this record was truly stellar..." A snippet from the interview:"... we’re both Australian and the original FYC song was a number 1 hit in Australia in 1989... our second home has become the U.K... we felt it was a nice connection since the FYC are British. So paying hommage to a band and song with both British and Australian ties felt right!... - Read the full review and Q&A with Deepti Satheesh below!

INTERVIEW
INTERVIEW: PRESIDENT STREET - TELL ME BROTHER
"Tell Me Brother started a while back when there were some riots in Australia - that got us thinking about all the wars and general violence in the world that was still happening and even years later is still happening so it’s sadly still relevant today. So the lyrics came first.... The most difficult challenge that all artists and story tellers face really is imposter syndrome. We, like everyone else, continue to struggle with the idea that what we have to say matters but, between us, we’ve built a strong sense of support for each other that allows us to push through and keep making music and doing all the backend side of things all independent musicians do!"
