Why do we like this?
I won't lie: I wasn't a big fan of this album. but i'm still compelled to throw this up because i think people should know about this band. it may not translate on CD, but these guys have one of the most raw, powerful live sets I've seen in a long time.
I saw them open for "The Dead Weather" a few weeks ago, and they totally caught me off guard. Out comes this three piece led by a girl that looked like she could have been thirteen years old in a shabby pilgrim dress looking down at the ground. Then she opened her mouth. Marissa Paternoster may be the only true female in the band, but she lives up to the "Screaming Females" name. And man can she play the guitar. I don't mean "˜oh, she can play guitar well for a girl;' I mean this girl can fucking shred. And she thrashes around and slams to her knees as she wails. It was a sight to see, and didn't feel forced or staged at all.
As punk music continues to evolve into something that looks more and more like whiney glam-rock, it was awesome to see a band play with the pure, genuine spirit and energy of punk rock untainted by a fashion or convention. "Screaming Females", above all else, are themselves, and they absolutely rock.
