Instrumentally this band sound like the Foo Fighters with their carefully crafted, well thought out guitar riffs, and vocally they sound like a less punk version of The Distillers. Vocalist Leah Duors definitely has that ‘fuck you,’ Brody Dalle style attitude to her vocals and it definitely adds to the whole excitement of the band. I am a fan of both the Foo Fighters and The Distillers so its great to hear an all girl band mixing the two as there aren’t that many girl bands around and generally when you find one they tend to be a bit useless in my opinion.
The band are currently on tour with the Holiday Plan, a band that I am not at all keen on – they will surely upstage the headliners at every venue they play at as they are almost certainly a far superior act with a hell of a lot of talent and potential. These are two extremely fine tunes here, with ‘Like I Care,’ and ‘You Leave Me Dead’ both having some amazing guitar riffs, some super bass lines, incredible drumming, and raw, angry, attitude packed vocals. They are both well worth checking out and I suggest that on November 1st you invest your hard earned cash in this single. It will surely impress with its incredible girl attitude.
If you are a fan of The Distillers, Smashing Pumpkins, or the Foo Fighters then really do think about buying this as McQueen could well become your new favourite band. Id love to hear more from this band so hopefully they will be releasing a full length at some stage in the not too distant future for my listening pleasure.
