Kids interviewing bands is a weird thing. There are a few obvious advantages. For instance: I can’t imagine why I, a professional music critic, have never asked a musician, during an interview, whether she’s ever broken a bone. That is a really interesting question! For anyone! But on the flipside: No follow-up questions! You can’t just stiffly read the questions from a piece of paper, kids! Go deeper! Anyway. The same 7th-grade girl who interviewed Sleigh Bells’ Alexis Krauss last year teamed up with a friend and sat down with eminently likable Boston indie types Speedy Ortiz for Kids Interview Bands, and the band members gamely fielded their questions. Watch the result below.

Speedy Ortiz’s new Real Hair EP is out 2/11 on Carpark. Stream it here.
