It’s a month out from Screaming Females’ debut Australian tour and I couldn’t be more excited. Since I first heard their 2010 album Castle Talk six years ago I knew there was no one like this band that I had ever heard. A perfect blend of sharp and tight indie rock with just enough punk attitude and ridiculous guitar shredding, the band is leagues ahead of any of their contemporaries. I saw two of their sets at SXSW last year and they blew me away. Take it from me – this band absolutely shreds and anyone who misses this show is doing themselves a massive disservice. Screaming Females play The Curtin on Saturday August 6. Tickets are available now via Bone Soup.
