If you've lost faith in female rockers, then get ready to be blown away by L.A. four-piece DOROTHY. While the HAIM sisters are winning favor for their indie pop offerings (and rightly so), there hasn't been a great deal of brash, in-your-face female rock, until now.
Powerful and energetic, new single "After Midnight" (peep the clip here), is a beer-soaked ménage à trois of sledge hammer riffs, sleazy bass lines, and crashing drumming, with frontwoman Dorothy's soulful yet throaty vocals adding the final touch.
Down and dirty, there's a touch of The Kills to DOROTHY, and they are one band you should keep your eye on this year.
