It’s hard to believe the last time that I saw Screaming Females was when they opened for Arctic Monkeys in 2009, during the Humbug tour, back when Arctic Monkeys could still play a place like Terminal 5 (for two night, but still). I don’t know how I went six years without seeing Screaming Females shred, but it’s a mistake I won’t make again.
The New Brunswick, New Jersey trio of Marissa Paternoster, Jarrett Dougherty, and King Mike have been relentlessly touring in support of new album Rose Mountain, which was released earlier this year via Don Giovanni Records. The group ripped into track after track of thunderous garage rock goodness, the sort of face melting stuff that just doesn’t come around anymore.
My apologies, Screaming Females. Next time you’re in New York, you’ll see me there.
