female band – and so she thinks

Throwing Up – Snake

London band Throwing Up are what I would call gentle punk, the frantic DIY drama of the music offset by the soft and soothing husky vocals from singers Clare and Camilla. They have been getting a lot of buzz recently,, and here is last summer’s Snake. A crush on a knob sucks, but at least from such adversity comes great artistic output. Listen and love the lo fi pop and bristling brattishness of it all. But please do not google ‘throwing up snake.’ Ain’t pretty.

Weird Menace – Weird Menace

Weird Menace are three girls from Dalston who make moody and sinister sounds. Their 100 run EP was released back in March on cassette (I know, I know, I’m late to the party) and features five feedback heavy, convulsing and fuzzily fragmented tunes. Weird Menace, the song rather than the band, is a song of almost monochrome beauty, layered vocals over slices of churning guitar, like shards through the dense sound. Excellent stuff.
