Hey all 👋🏻 I’m Chelsea. If you put the sounds of PJ Harvey, Avril Lavigne, The Replacements, The Breeders, Jimmy Eat World, and MCR in a jar & shook it up real well you may get something that resembles Stress Dolls.

You can stream my debut album, Queen of No, below 👇🏻

Thanks for your time 💕

As promised, an original from the other night:

"Better" by Stress Dolls live at Electric City in Buffalo, NY

This one was inspired by my experience with chronic illness & trying to allow myself to live in the moment when I do feel good VS. worrying about the next flare. ❤️‍🩹
