Speedy Ortiz Offers The Best Excuse For Skipping Plans In New Video

Speedy Ortiz is led by Sadie Dupuis, who also records under the name
Sad13. It's key to note this for two reasons: 1) Sadie is a MTV News pal, having stopped by our 2016 election-night special for a

"Lucky 88" will be on Speedy Ortiz's upcoming new album,
Twerp Verse, which is out April 27 on Carpark. You could pre-order it
here.
