Peach PRC at Bludfest: New “Sexy, Queer Songs” Ready to Go

Sitting in Peach PRC’s dressing room at the second iteration of Bludfest at Milton Keynes Bowl, Music Is To Blame escapes the intermittent rain to discuss new music, songwriting inspiration and sapphic joy. In contrast to the dark wallpaper and deep green sofa, Peach PRC is wearing a summery yellow lace dress, which shows off her patchwork tattoos - an elegance later echoed in her fairytale-esque onstage outfit. 

Having recently completed her UK tour, including appearing at Bludfest, and heading on a North America tour in September, Peach PRC names ‘Perfect For You’, first released in 2023 as part of her ‘Manic Dream Pixie’ EP, as her favourite song to perform live; “it’s the first song I usually do, and I also love doing ‘Blondes’”. Her viral first track, ‘Blondes’, was released independently back in 2019, with lyrics including “Call your boyfriend play him this song / Tell him he did nothing wrong / You just decided you prefer blondes” asserting her well-deserved place in the sapphic music sphere.

In her latest shows, she has been performing unreleased track ‘Sweet ‘N Low’, teasing the song in 2024, she described it as the “most unserious thing I've ever written”. On the track, she says, “That song is so fun, I’m dying to get it out, and I love it and I’m pumped for it. It’s so funny, it’s so tongue in cheek, I was cracking up when I was writing it” adding, “I hope people feel that when they hear it, it’s silly and sexy and queer”. 

With shows and new music on the horizon, Peach promises even more “sexy, queer songs… I’ve got heaps locked and loaded ready to go”. Having built a reputation for creating high-energy queer pop, Peach has soundtracked many moments of queer joy and coming out for fans. Reflecting on the songs which soundtracked her own coming out, she says, “In the beginning I was super into ‘Girls Like Girls’ by Hayley Kiyoko and I would bawl my eyes out in the park to that song, these days I’m writing them myself”. With the current online conversation centering on the need for more lesbian representation in the industry, she laughs as she admits “we lost a couple” but “it’s all out there, like Chappell Roan and there are so many lesbian singers now it’s amazing”.


So what’s to blame for Peach PRC’s career? Initially that accolade goes to Britney Spears as she says, “I would walk around the house singing her [songs] a lot”, more recently the impetus comes from “an era of music a few years ago that was so chill and so relaxed and so whispery bedroom pop that I was like ‘ahh’ i need to make some crazy shit I can’t take it anymore. So that’s to blame for why I make such hectic, glitchy, fun, pop.”

With more of the “hectic" queer pop Peach PRC is known and loved for coming soon, it’s no ‘Secret’ that she is not an artist to be missed.
