Screaming Females is a power rock trio from New Jersey that sound a bit like a less sexy, more gritty version of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs if they hadn’t dropped the ball and had picked up a bass player instead. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs first album, Fever To Tell, was a slice of Rockandfuckingroll that singed my eyebrows off. Since then, they haven’t quite had the same kind of energy. First, they went acoustic with Show Your Bones and then they went electronic and danceable with It’s Blitz. So it’s nice that Screaming Females have come along and picked up the Rockandfuckingroll ball, because that thing needs a good bouncing from time to time.
