Peach PRC Celebrates the Highs With “Symptomatic”

I don’t know about you, but as a New South Welshman locked down for at least the next couple of weeks, I could use a little poppy fun. Peach PRC delivers with “Symptomatic,” the follow-up to her break-up anthem “Josh.” It’s the perfect track for a lockdown dance break which explores the high periods that can counteract the lows of mental illness.

“One of the features of my mental illness is I can have really low periods and then swing into an incredible high manic period. When this happens, I feel like I’m invincible and get really excited about doing lots of stuff—like learning to speak Italian, play five instruments, or become a crystal healer! Every time, I think I’ve been cured of my depression and mental struggles forever!” Peach PRC shared. “My therapist once compared to me to Harley Quinn while I am in this state – that kind of bothered me. Then I thought, why don’t I write a song about being on this high and thinking I’m cured and just embrace the fuck out of the Harley-Quin-of-it-all! And that song – is ‘Symptomatic’.”

I love the way Peach PRC delivers such thoughtful pop music. It’s so much fun but it always makes you think. If you adore her stuff, good news. Her debut EP isn’t too far away.

TikTok Sensation Peach PRC Drops Debut Single “Josh”

Peach PRC has attracted a legion of fans on TikTok since launching her channel in 2019, but with recent deals with Republic Records and Island Records Australia, it’s time for the rest of the country to fall in love with her. Peach PRC is making a strong statement with her debut single “Josh.” If you’ve ever had an ex you’d rather keep in the past, this shimmery, sassy pop track is for you.

“I’ve been wanting to put out this song forever,” she said. “It’s very special to me because it captured a real moment. I was a bit down when I was writing one day. My ex, Josh, kept calling me over and over again. He called all of the time because he was trying to get back with me. I thought I had blocked him though. Since he didn’t stop bothering me, I wrote the song about him. It’s a true story, but it’s still meant to be fun and colorful.”

Peach PRC already has more than 1.2 million TikTok followers and her videos have been streamed on the channel more than 10 million times. However, on listening to her latest song, I think she’s got real crossover appeal. Expect to hear a lot more about this Aussie talent in the coming months.
