Twenty-fifteen marked a lot of milestones for Screaming Females.
As one of America’s most critically acclaimed underground punk bands, they
released their sixth full-length album, Rose Mountain via Don
Giovanni Records, worked for the first time with an outside producer, hit
quadruple digits on the live show front and marked their ten-year anniversary
as a band.
Equal parts Dinosaur Jr and Sleater-Kinney, the trio of Marissa Paternoster (guitar/vocals), Michael Abbate (bass)
and Jarrett
Dougherty (drums), ten years on, are still as hard
working and viciously independent as they were when they began in 2005.
Paternoster’s vocals have been likened to those of Corin Tucker in the way they
wither and howl with a vibrato that blows minds time and again, while her
shredding guitar abilities have seen her named in SPIN Magazine’s “Top 100
Guitarists Of All Time.” Having notched up over one
thousand shows in the northern hemisphere, exuding a frenetic energy with an
almost frightening level of intensity which has seen them join stages
alongside, Dinosaur Jr, Garbage, The Dead Weather and the list goes
on, 2016 sees them make their first ever trip below the equator.
On their latest release, Rose
Mountain the trio worked with producer and engineer, Matt Bayles (Mastodon, Sword, Minus The Bear,
Soundgarden), to delve deeper than they ever have before into
the intricacies of guitar tones and drum sounds. Rose Mountain sees
Screaming Females produce a record that is their most concise, crisp and
melodic yet.
Joining SCREAMING
FEMALES on their epic NZ adventure is BOZO
the Auckland 5 piece with shake appeal. Bozo started as the two-piece
recording project of Yolanda Fagan (Drums) and Guy Forks (Guitar) of the Echo
Ohs. Three stunners quickly joined in succession, widening and extending the
sound into what is now a swoon worthy ruckus. Hariet Ellis (Power Cruise) -
Bass, keys and vox. Durham Fenwick (New Gum Sarn) switches between rhythm and
lead guitar. And Mason Fairey (The Naenae Express and too many other bands to
mention) fills out the sparse sideways drumming with hypnotizing tambourine.
Watch for an album from these guys soon!
