Kelsy Karter is a throwback to when rock 'n' roll was fun. Stylistically, her music is brash and anthemic, somewhere between '70s arena rock and '80s pop metal.
Aesthetically, Karter and her band the Heroines fit the part. Long messy hair, tight pants, and black leather help create an experience that feels lifted from the Sunset Strip's heyday.
As the band tours the world and releases music like the recent power ballad "Hotel Flamingo," they keep the momentum going for rock's resurgence. Their new album, Love Made Me Do It, is out Jan. 31.
For the final episode of 2025, Jordan Edwards and Demi Ramos talk to Karter about new music, her viral Harry Styles face tattoo, and why she loves life on the road.
