The Splinters

Add Date: March 9

Artist: The Splinters

Album: Kick

Label: Double Negative

Genre: Rock

Comments: From the promoter:

"Following the release of their now out-of-print 7" Splintered Bridges, the ladies of Oakland's The Splinters are back with their highly anticipated full-length debut Kick. The Splinters and their ramshackle rock n' roll sound and multipart vocal harmonies have earned them comparisons to '60s girl groups like the Shangi-Las, artsy post-punk outfits like the Raincoats, and the lo-fi grrl-pop stylings of early '90s K Records bands. Therse hard-working gals have performed with the likes of Ty Segall, Brilliant Colors, The Strange Boys, the Coathangers and countless others, and have become one of the bay area's most buzzed about new bands."

I liked "Mysterious" and the quieter "Sorry." Fierce girl rock with just enough cute to be comfortable in a Wes Anderson film or Juno.
