Girl Band + Traams

After a riotous performance in Amsterdam this January, demonic Dublin post-punks Girl Band return to the Subbacultcha! roster. Since, their untitled 2014 EP has boasted a pair of thrilling monstrosities to prove there’s more boundary-smashing in store for these unwavering iconoclasts.

While the phrase ‘girl band’ most likely conjures up images of overstyled lady hacks more touted for their looks than their songwriting skills, the Dublin outfit of the same name features four dudes whose violent post-punk has a far-above-average capacity to make you want to smash beer bottles against the wall in a most unladylike fashion. Their self-produced 2012 EP, France 98, is excellent, and anyone who saw them play at Subbacultcha!’s Day Party in Groningen can confirm that they killed it live. Noisy UK indie-rock trio TRAAMS met by chance during a storm and formed the band right then and there, and they certainly hit the ground running, quickly developing an impressively diverse and melodic sound and an even more impressively tight live show.
