She's, The

***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 go on a bleary (yet delightful) psych-infused solo for a good portion of the track. The track ‘Dream Girl’ has the feel of a ’60s girl group sound, but updated and modernized. ‘Mystery’ is less sunny in lyrical content, but still has the kicky choruses that The She’s are known for. Talking about inner demons and romantic troubles, it’s far darker than what some may expect from the band. But the most impressive track is ‘Lots to Hide.’ Taking of third-person narrative songwriting, the song is the cherry on top to the dark but eternally sunny release, Dreamers.”—The Bay Bridged
