Ladyscissors

$7.

press release: Ladyscissors (Madison): Rock four-piece does jangly, slinky rock that ranges from REM-like pop to moody, hypnotic rockabilly, a la, early Velvet Underground. Female harmonies float over crunchy guitars (Brent George and Lorrie Hurckes-Dwyer) with a bubbling bass (Anne Bull) line just bubbling away. Sometimes the drummer, Stephanie Rearick (Negative Example, The Coma Savants, etc) plays trumpet.

"The [quartet] blends those late-Fifties-style vocal elements and early-Sixties instrumental references, protecting the ethos of the not-too-studied brand of rock musician that delivers it straight from the gut while spiking the punch with a dose of punk raunchiness.  As the name might suggest, Ladyscissors keeps the music fun and the production decidedly real." - Local Sounds Magazine
