New Jersey’s Screaming Females are probably the definition of “power trio” – Marissa Paternoster’s guttural yelp and insane guitar shredding are one thing, but don’t discount the non-female Females’ relentless rhythm section. On their new album Ugly producer Steve Albini brought the glossy brutality (the same he brought to Cloud Nothings’ Attack on Memory , and on, um, Nirvana's In Utero ) in spades to the band’s electrifying, mosh-ready pop-punk, and that shows up perfectly on “Expire,” their latest single. If you’ve seen [...]

Screaming Females - It All Means Nothing// If you’ve been reading this blog since the start you know that we must be peeing our pants with the excitement of the up coming release of Screaming Females new album “Ugly.” A few months back they released the single “It All Means Nothing” which got me so excited that I listened to “ Castle Talk ” all week long. “Ugly” is set to drop April 3rd and I’m chomping at the bit to get my hands on it. Check out [...]
New Jersey indie rockers Screaming Females are gearing up to release their new album, Ugly , on April 3rd, and they just dropped a new track from it. "Expire" is a gritty garage stomper with a classic 70s post-punk bite, replete with jittery lead guitar in the verses and basement-filling drums. It's not completely foreign territory for the Screamales, but it does present something of a departure from the straight up college rock sound of their earlier work. Plus, even though Steve Albini's approach as a producer is notoriously hands-off, there is something to be said for the production [...]
HBO's medieval drama Game Of Thrones premieres April 1, and this season's plot involves five different claims to the throne and these respective factions' ongoing clobbering of one another (#TeamRobb). But, yet another mantle is up for grabs, one that involves absolutely nobody getting their head cut off; the claim to "your album of the summer," a competition that includes many of the 25 albums in our list. While bands like Beach House and Bear In Heaven have already earned their inclusion, many details are just beginning to emerge about many of the [...]

Name: Screaming Females Progress Report: New Jersey trio puts the finishing touches on Ugly , their forthcoming Steve Albini-produced full-length. Screaming Females popped up on most people’s radar with the release of 2010’s excellently scrappy Castle Talk , but the New Jersey punk band has been releasing music (and playing approximately five-bazillion house shows and basement venues) since way back in 2006. Next month the band will release their fifth proper full-length album, Ugly , and hit the road on what will undoubtedly be an endless stretch of [...]
A picture tells a thousand words, right? They also help capture a thousand bands, and for an event like Austin, TX's South by Southwest , a camera isn't an added incentive, it's a necessity. Last week, several of our photographers hit the bustling streets and furious venues, capturing the talent both young and old. For reference, you should know that a day at SXSW begins at 10 a.m. and doesn't stop until sometime between the hours of two or six in the morning. Yeah, that's a lot of footage. So, if you couldn't make it down to Texas, take a [...]
