Artist Spotlight: Meet Industry Doll
How did you come up with the theme?
Lola: ‘Tough Luck’ came out of this feeling of constantly getting knocked down and still showing up. It wasn’t some grand plan—we were just writing about what pissed us off, what hurt, and what made us laugh at how ridiculous life can get.
Pablo: The theme found us, honestly. It’s about surviving with scars, rolling your eyes at the chaos, and keeping your middle finger up when everything’s falling apart.
What impact do you hope 'Tough Luck' will have on your audience?
Lola: We want people to feel like it’s okay to be a mess. To scream, to dance, to crash and burn, and get back up again.
Pablo: If ‘Tough Luck’ gives someone the guts to say “screw it” and be themselves—loudly—then we’ve done our job.
Can you talk about any standout tracks on 'Tough Luck' and what makes them special to you?
Pablo: "Imitation" hits hard for me. It’s got this gnarly riff and a kind of nervous energy that captures the constant fight between wanting to blow everything up and still caring too much.
Lola: "Your Mother" is the one for me. It’s got attitude, but underneath it, there’s this ache. It’s about how people expect you to be put together when you’re falling apart inside—and telling those people to shove it.
What is your creative vision as a duo?
Lola: Loud. Honest. No filler.
Pablo: We want the music to hit like a punch to the chest, but still have something to say. We’re not here to play nice—we’re here to make noise that matters.
What role do you feel emotions play in your music, and how do you channel them into your performances?
Lola: Emotion is the music. If I’m angry, you’ll hear it. If I’m heartbroken, I’ll scream it. We don’t hold back onstage.
Pablo: The guitar is my weapon, my therapy, my voice when words don’t cut it. We pour everything we’ve got into this music—no walls, no ego, just raw energy.
