PRESS PRAISE
AUSTIN CHRONICLE "Catchy fuzz-punk sermons with the wires exposed."DELI MAGAZINE "Their psychedelic sound mixed with Chase Frank’s hypnotizing, melodic voice redefines the standard of girl bands. Even a modern day Odysseus wouldn't stand a chance against these self-proclaimed “Femme Fatale Siren Songs.” OVRLD on The Harms -"Warpaint wishes they could hit that melt into restrained garage bass thump. Hard hitting girl rock, Motown-esque choruses and jangly garage numbers: The Harms have it all. "GETTING PAST THE STATIC on The Harms - "Vocalist Chase Frank has some set of pipes on her. It seems ef ortless the way she belts out those songs. "CITY WEEKLY "...Two psychedelic and sassy songs—a ballad about a teenage vampire suicide pact, called "Graveyard Love" and a post-punk-paced surf-pop track, called "Sound Dragons." The trio play the dark side of pop, with hectic and sometimes fuzzy guitar rif s from frontwoman Chase Frank and frantic drumming from Jessica Alexander. " ON VINYL (ATX on record) by Max Lillard--"Frank’s voice, which is at once almost operatic in its register and alluring as a siren’s call, brought handfuls of raw emotion to some of the band’s most psychedelic lyrics. A genre blending and mind bending brand of rock that can switch styles on the fly."

It’s all happening! We’re excited to hear Lion Tamer, the 1st track from our forthcoming 10 song album, out in the world with such positive feedback after working on this album for so long. Recent events include a live taping on KOOP FM (available in the KOOP Austin, TX archives), and an interview with Baruch, Paradigm Podcast, out of Vancouver Island, Canada. It was insightful to talk to someone outside the U.S. at this time we’re living through. A preview of our album also came out of Vancouver - Rock critic Eric Alper, he loved it. Our very first spin was in Deerborn, MI, and we were also recommended by I Heart Music' w/ none other than Thundercat. Welp!
Our release show is Nov 5, Sahara Lounge with the incredible MONEY CHICA & our long time Long Beach friend, DENNIS OWENS flies in from the west coast to make it pop. Don’t be late! 7:30, 1st Thursday’s Psych Night, our residency, continues at Sahara Lounge.
