There's something truly wonderful about female-fronted music hardcore. Or is this powerviolence? I have no idea... I hope to learn more about the sub-genres of hardcore. But something we might all agree on is that many rock music
scenes tend to be fairly homogenized in the gender and race department.
And let's face it... there's no shortage of machismo in the world. Can't help it if my ears perk to the sound of Marina's
amazing scream... a voice that takes this Raleigh, North Carolina's band to a
whole new level of ferociousness... which would be entirely lost with a
male vocalist ... I think. Her voice is that of a large hawk or like tires screeching to a halt. The band is also incredibly tight, packing a wallop in a short amount of time(most of the songs being under 2 minutes). Last Words, I've read, take their influence from the Boston hardcore scene. I'm not sure what that means... something to explore in future posts.
10 songs, name your price. Available on vinyl! For the utilitarian music listener, a great record for the workplace (granted you have the luxury of listening to music while working) or even exercising.
