How Bridge City Sinners’ Libby Lux Molded Her Spite Into Songs
When resentment over a young heartbreak consumed her, Bridge City Sinners vocalist Libby Lux began writing music, purely out of spite. But although Libby grew up in the Portland punk scene, when she began to channel her emotions through songwriting, street punk wasn’t where she found her voice. Since her band’s first release in 2016,…
