Screaming Females

Screaming Females just headlined their label Don Giovanni’s Records free annual New Brunswick show recently.  Led by tiny dynamo Marissa Paternoster, the New Jersey trio play boisterous yet melodic indie rock in the great tradition of Hüsker Dü and Dinosaur Jr. If you’re going to make rock music influenced by those titans, you’d better bring the riffs, and over the course of six albums and numerous EPs and singles, Paternoster has emerged as one of the most powerful guitarists of her generation.

As strong as 2012’s Ugly and the recent album 2015’s Rose Mountain are, fans are still waiting for Screaming Females own Zen Arcade, that perfect balance between raucousness and melody that everyone knows they have in them.  The seven-and-a-half-minute Ugly centerpiece “Doom 84” is beastly, featuring a towering performance by Paternoster, as she hammers out blues-rock riffs that few of her male indie rock peers have the guts and chops to pull off
Their tour hits their hometown of Brooklyn on November 8 at Music Hall of Williamsburg. Most dates have support from Potty Mouth,


In related news, Screaming Females singer/guitarist Marissa Paternoster directed and starred in the new video from their labelmates/recent tourmates Vacation. It’s for the song “I Wish I Could Be Someone Else” off their new album Non-Person, and you can watch it below.

From the Roadside Graves  new record “Acne/Ears” on Don Giovanni Records. 

With a particular fondness for this band Roadside Graves,whose brilliant 2009 album “My Son’s Home” was an early immediate favourite album and a staple on the turntable from which “Far And Wide” was high among top tracks of that particular year. So it’s a real pleasure to discover that, after way too long, they are back with a new record, the strangely named ACNE/EARS which is out later this year and from it, a transformed, much more muscular version of the song “Gospel Radio”.

Of all the disparate sounds to be found on Mitski’s 2013 self-released LP “Retired From Sad, New Career In Business“, there is none more devastating than her vocal quaver on the song “Square.” The song is a chronicle of a decaying relationship, a convoluted interrogation of why things seem so complicated when “God’s very simple and love shouldn’t burn.” Mitski’s pointed lyrical turns-of-phrase have a tendency to silence her audience with their simplicity, She recently performed at SXSW. Earlier this month, Don Giovanni Records announced that they will release the deluxe edition of Mitski’s 2014 record “Bury Me At Makeout Creek”, which will include a series of extra bonus tracks. A live piano version of “Square” will follow the record’s concluding song “Last Words Of A Shooting Star.”
