Soso, vier zornige Frauen im strengen Schwarz, das Debtalbum "Silence Yourself” von Savages ist die Tage erschienen, groe Aufregung. Sie sind wtend, sehr ernsthaft, England geht mglicherweise langsam aber sicher den Bach runter, dem theoretische berbau aus Wut und tdlichen Ernst der Londonerinnen kann ich dennoch nichts abgewinnen. Vielleicht weil es mir ziemlich gut geht. Fresse halten, zuhren und wagt es nicht auf unseren Konzerten mit Handys zu fotografieren. Dazu zorniges Geplrre ber Komunikationsterror mobiler Welten , Facebook wird gedisst und dort natrlich eine fette Fanpage ins Netz gestellt. I like it. Das beeindruckt mich fr keine zwei Cent und [...]

Me alegra decir que la promesa del post-punk no ha muerto . Hay un cuarteto de muchachas en Londres que se están encargando de que eso no suceda jamás. A la escena musical actual, Savages le agrega una cuota de oscuridad y realismo que por supuesto está ausente las melodías más edulcoradas que lideran las listas de ventas, pero por otro lado, sorprenden con una violencia inusitada para una banda formada sólo por féminas. Inspiradas por bandas como Black Sabbath y por literatura como El Cazador en el Centeno y [...]

[Savages] "create music rammed full of art-cool passion, intense energy and a dark old-school indie punk sensibility." Words from one of my favorite new music blogs, Breaking More Waves . Jehnny Beth, Gemma Thompson, Ayse Hassan and Fay Milton make up this South London-based quintet of stylistic punk that is, put simply, strong . After hearing the track "Flying to Berlin", I was certainly interested, but not addicted. After reviewing what I believe is all the audible/visual content that exists on them, I think I'm going to need some sort of pill just to wean of these ladies. It is [...]

Savages are a four piece from London consisting of Jehnny Beth (real name Camille Berthomier - previously a member of alternative lo-fi indie outfit John & Jehn), Gemma Thompson, Ayse Hassan and Fay Milton. They create music rammed full of art-cool passion, intense energy and a dark old-school indie punk sensibility. The group have so far released their debut single Husbands / Flying To Berlin and followed it up with a 12” live EP. They’ve also found themselves the stars of a recent episode of live music TV show Later With Jools on BBC2. [...]

London's all female Savages are quickly building heat this week during CMJ along with others such as: Icona Pop, You Won't, Deap Vally, MSMR, MØ, Guards, and Kate Earl. With a definitive post-punk edge, solid mgmt team, and a reportedly piercing live show, these women seemed poised for US success - yet, we've all seen how that story can go. We'll be checking them out for the first time tonight at Glasslands w/ Dum Dum Girls.

by Andrew Sacher You've been playing live for a while without releasing any recorded material. Why? Gemma Thompson: We knew from the first rehearsals that we wanted the live performance to be integral, and that everything would come together because of the physical impact. We felt like nothing was finished until our first show. Even if the songs were kind of finished in a sense, they weren't finished until they were performed.

The VPME Recent months have seen the emergence of - arguably - the most important band this year an all female London based quartet collectively known as Savages. Bounding out of London, Jehnny Beth, Gemma Thompson, Ayse Hassan and Fay Milton mauled at the tableau of the current scene with primal defiance as they have looked past the horizon and into the void of todays counter culture. With much of their buzz created via word of mouth and in an age where social media seems to propel most fledgling bands into the glare of the hype [...]

Savages are a band lost to time. I could imagine the craziness of 'Husbands' up against the antics of The Birthday Party or Joy Division circa 1980 and fitting right in. The British four piece produce frenetic and liberating post punk that always threatens to fall off the rails. Its not always pretty, nor comfortable. Savages are out to stir things up and not in a marketing tag kinda way! Pop Noire have released their debut single 'Husbands' with the b-side 'Flying To Berlin' via iTunes (7-inch is still in the works). [...]
Blending the intensity of Joy Divison and the fun-party-punk sounds of Siouxie And The Banshees are London-based all-girl band Savages – their intelligent lyrics and cutting guitar lines make the material utterly enthralling to listen and dance about to. What's even more exciting about this emerging act is the buzz around them that has secured a string of quite wonderful support slots, most recently with UK indie scene darlings, The Vaccines. Standout track City's Full creates the type of mood and atmosphere that My Bloody Valentine might be proud of - unrelenting drum beats [...]
Had a shit day. Was saved by a mate who suggested we went to a gig in Manchester. At a place called Fuhrer Bunker. In a dead industrial estate with glass shattered and burnt out buildings in the middle of nowhere. Where two supposedly "amazeballs" bands were going to play. In a cage. When you add all of that up together it'll be stupid not to fucking go. Now this gig was organized by Now Wave Manchester and Sways Records, an indie label based in Salford. I've been to a couple of Now Wave nights when I used to live [...]

Facebook Fledgling London based four piece Savages have some predigree behind them, with vocalist Jehn and guitarist Gemma also being members of the wonderful John & Jehn and were hand-picked by British Sea Power to play their inaugural gig back in January, that might go a little way to explain that despite, to date, having played less than a handful of gigs and having no recorded material online they have been lauded by The Quietus and NME already. The main reason though is because (I'm yet to see [...]

And then, after several bleak months, summer suddenly arrived one Saturday. It's appearance was unexpected but overwhelmingly welcome, like a returning friend that you hadn't realised how much you missed. Raised on my elbows in the park, I gazed up at the spotless blue sky, a jet lazily pootling across it, and then left and right. All around me were bare arms and frisbees. Across the road, the local cafe had outdoor seating for the first time in months, as if it had woken from hibernation. It all felt like the end of long, dark tunnel, and everyone was buoyed: [...]
Been meaning to throw this out there for a couple of weeks but as is often the case, life gets in the way. Amazingly though, apart a wonderful interview with The Quietus and the NME pointing out the splendour of this magnificent new group from Jehn (of John & Jehn), Savages are still very much an untapped entity. Not for long though. There's an excitement contained within these three and a half minutes that can only be described as primal. Ferocious, bleak and fuelled with bile and movement. [...]
