A Short Walk to Pluto has developed a tremendous social media presence through TikTok and Instagram, where they regularly debut original music and covers of well-known classics. It was through that online presence that the quartet was discovered and endorsed by Howard Stern on his SiriusXM radio show.
Their new single “Hopeless” mimics a panic attack, conjuring anger, pressure and fear in the struggle to cope with the intensity of one’s emotions. In the midst of this, there exists a longing for support and understanding from others, and a hope that loneliness might soon end.
Though much of their success is owed to their social media engagement, it is their genre-defying original music and energetic live performances that have generated a loyal, consistent, and far reaching following.
