They were real pillars of my adolescence,” Peters explained to Triple J. “I loved the spirit of all of those Green Day songs.
I loved the energy and the fire.”Peters added that she was inspired by folk songs, country music and The 1975’s ‘Part Of The Band’ for her version of ‘Basket Case’ – check it out below.
