Sleigh Bells' Alexis Krauss, who hails from Manasquan, NJ, used to perform in a teen pop group called RubyBlue, so I feel like getting "Best Vocalist" at her high school was kind of a gimme (though I do wonder what thrash pop group Chris Pinnella is in now). Hipster Runoff unleashed some high school photos of Alexis -- who used to go by Sydney, for a spell -- so head there for the rest. I'm guessing, of all photos to rapidly circulate on the internet, Alexis would rather have it be these, but honestly, it could be worse. She could be Drake.
