Olivia Rodrigo recently revealed how she’s gotten into ’80s new wave bands like Depeche Mode and The Cure, and now, she’s named a more current favorite in Rage Against the Machine.
In a new cover story with Rolling Stone, Rodrigo opened up about some of the influences for her excellent sophomore album, Guts. While speaking about the opening track, “All-American Bitch,” she credited two bands as inspiration: Babes in Toyland and Rage Against the Machine.
Rodrigo remembered sleeping with a turntable next to her bed at the age of 14 and being awoken by her mom putting on Babes in Toyland’s sophomore album, Fontanelle, which she would listen to while getting dressed. “Rock in that feminine way, that’s just the coolest thing in the world to me,” she said about the Kat Bjelland-led band.
