New Jersey punk rock three-piece Screaming Females are one of the best rock bands on the face of the earth presently, and the impending release of their new album “Rose Mountain” is a thing you should be very excited about. We’ve posted three songs from the album thus far, and they’ve all been absolute ass-kickers in very different ways: Wishing Well,” Ripe,” “Empty Head. The latest song they’ve shared is another banger. “Criminal Image” is a hard-rolling riff rocker with a blazing solo and a little bit of piano, something I’ve never heard on a Screaming Females album before. It’s a song to put on when you need to feel invincible. For whatever reason, it comes attached to a video of the three band members brushing their teeth and flossing and using mouthwash.

New Jersey punkers Screaming Females were preparing to share their latest studio album “Rose Mountain” with the world. The announcement came with a new song and the band hasn’t stopped there. On Tuesday, the trio shared a new tune, as well as the announcement that their “Rose Mountain” release show will happen in conjunction with their label’s showcase early next year. No strangers to the annual Don Giovanni Records Showcase, Screamales will headline a show at Brooklyn’s own Knitting Factory along with Priests, Tenement, and Vacation to celebrate the birth of their latest record.

In the eyes of diehard Screamales fans, the album may either come as a treat or look like a sad departure, as the band has been focusing more on melody than raw power. Drummer Jarrett Dougherty gave a little insight into both Rose Mountain and the new song “Empty Head”:

Our focus for this record was to create the most melodic and concise music of our ten year history.. Figuring out what was at the core of “Empty Head” wasn’t just important to this particular song, it was really part of the fundamental challenge of “Rose Mountain” as a whole.

Dougherty’s admission comes as no surprise after the tamer sound of “Wishing Well” met ears in October. Still, none of this is bad news. The band appears to be tighter than ever, riding the waves of their killer live album from last year. They just wrapped up a powerful just-for-fun tour and we can guarantee that they’re still a live band to be ranked with the best of them.

New Jersey punks Screaming Females will unleash “Rose Mountain” early next year, a record that’s bound to be a total shit-kicker. The single Ripe,” the band shared a live performance of the song. Lance Bangs has directed an impressive roster of videos, the most recent of which was for Kim Deal’s new track Biker Gone,” and he helmed the forthcoming Slint documentary Breadcrumb Trail. This is a high-contrast, stark video — the carefully coordinated cinematography rubs up against Screaming Females’ purposefully raw sound. Although the audio was professionally recorded, the band chose to not overdub it, maintaining some auditory semblance to a live performance. Maybe it always looks this way, but Marissa Paternoster’s guitar appears to be speckled with blood as she tears through the song’s absurdly awesome inaugural riff.
