front of me, I could run up and down the stage and
fall all over, but when I’m singing, I can’t run away,”
he said. “That might restrict some people, but I
think that boundaries can be really good for the art.
“I’ve found it to be a challenge to recreate the
same energy in a smaller space.”
Pollet wrote the music for Gals Panic, and wrote
lyrics for a few of its songs. Pollet said songwriting
for Missile Command has been a challenge.
“I drink a lot of coffee because I do my best writ
ing at around four in the morning,” he said. “There

tions, like changing
the dog’s flea collar.
“One difference
between Missile
Command songs and
Gals Panic songs is
the lyrics. Gals Panic
never did love songs
or songs about girls.
I feel music is pri
marily a mating call.
We’re not total saps,
but we do have songs
about relationships.
We also have songs
about video games
and other important stuff, too."
Pollet said the songs he writes are about per
sonal experiences, particularly one called “Flight
less Bird.”
“My friend Tim is a professional tour guide in
New York and has been writing me letters for several
years,” Pollet said. “On all his letters he draws a cas
sowary, which is a flightless bird. I just thought
about how it must be such a strain to be a bird with
wings and not be able to fly.”
Pollet said the song “Peeping Tom” is about
his mother.
“She liked to pretend her / Son was a sex offender
/ Well, hey Mom / I’m not a peeping Tom.”
