All Female Rock And Roll Quartet

Empty Cellar

With their respective tongues in their respective cheeks, Sami Perez, Hannah Valente, Eva Treadway, and Sinclair Riley of The She’s proudly present their second album All Female Rock And Roll Quartet. This time band is behind the wheel, self-producing with counsel and encouragement from tUne-Yards’ Merrill Garbus. Lyrically, the band delivers a more mature, grounded, and self-aware album than ever before. Their storytelling is cathartic and relatable. Across twelve tracks, they examine themes of guilt, heartbreak, disappointment, frustration, yearning, and acceptance, effortlessly balancing lyrical sophistication and bluntness, like in “Death Dreams” when Perez plainly asserts “hate how you treat the air like you’ll find your breath in it somewhere.” Tonally, this album strays a bit from earlier releases. Drawing inspiration from Thao & The Get Down Stay Down, Sleater-Kinney, and tUne-Yards, the bands have officially leveled up in terms of sonic experimentation and eccentricity. From the blown-out wall of blistering guitars in “Ashes”, to the trance-inducing ebb and flow of the rhythm section in “Sorry”, to the spacious, angelic build up of vocal, guitars, and percussion in “Holly”, this offers up a plentiful spread of compelling tones and arrangements for listeners to lose themselves in. This album is not what long time fans of The She’s might expect—they’ve been through some stuff since their last release. Sonically raw, this is a vulnerable and honest depiction of who the band is now, boasting a new level of confidence and creativity in songwriting, storytelling, and musicianship, willing to let moments go unresolved...

***Over the last 5 years, San Francisco natives THE SHE’S have established themselves as an integral part of the San Francisco music scene. They create garage-pop beachy tunes that make you want to fast forward to summer held together with smart songwriting and tight musicianship. To bring their songs to life, HANNAH VALENTE (rhythm guitar), SAMI PEREZ (bass), and EVA TREADWAY (lead guitar) create angelic yet haunting harmonies over SINCLAIR RILEY’s tight drumming. The She’s have gained a cult following around their debut album Then It Starts to Feel Like Summer and are back with an EP thats a little deeper, vibier, and more sophisticated without losing the essence of the pop mentality that made the debut so appealing. Songs like "My Secret to Keep" and "Dream Girl" show versatility in the sharp pop songwriting they have honed thus far.    “There are so many pieces about The She’s out there that go for the angle of an inspiring story about teenage girls playing music. But when you strip away gimmicks of age and gender, The She’s are still a talented group of musicians who are constantly growing and advancing musically. Take the band’s latest and long-awaited EP, Dreamers, which is out today. This EP is proof. The opening track ‘My Secret to Keep,’ starts out with the essential elements that the band is known for: Sunny pop laden with vocal harmonies. But in the interest of trying new things, the band plays with jam band characteristics as they...
