Girl Band by Richard Gilligan
Girl Band have shared a Rocky’s House NYC session ahead of their west coast tour of the US supporting Sleaford Mods.
It features performances of Amygdala and Laggard, tracks from last year’s visceral comeback The Talkies which will also be toured around the UK in May. “By this point you are deep inside this record or will long ago have taken an escape pod,” our review reads.
“For those who relish confronting their own prejudices, at its core are Prefab Castle – a rave symphony for the maladjusted – and Laggard, the glorious soundtrack to a civilisation on the point of collapse. Ultimately Girl Band’s mere existence is assurance that answers, clarity and meaning are still disposable pretexts. The Talkies is a record which needs every sinew of your understanding.”
