Album of the Week 5/1 - 5/7: "Before the World Was Big" by Girlpool

     Feminist-flavored, girl-empowering Rock music has been around since the "Riot Grrrl" movement in the 90s. However, in recent years, the Rock and Indie scenes have seen some very rad, very talented female-fronted bands come to fruition once again. One of these bands is Girlpool. Have you heard of them? Listened, maybe? If not, find a computer or phone fast--you don't want to miss these girls. This all-female duo from LA is here to demand your attention with what has been dubbed as "Folk Punk". The group has been known for tackling gender-based issues in the past, especially with tracks like "Slutmouth", where both ladies harmonize, "I go to school everyday/ Just to be made a housewife one day." With scathing societal commentary and a raw sound that is ever-so-pleasing to the ear (via uber-catchy riffs involving simple Folk-esque guitar), Cleo Tucker and Harmony Tividad alternate instruments and turns singing. The album has a melancholy tone, which seems to yearn for past, simpler times. With an album title like "Before the World Was Big" and album artwork that features innocent-looking children playing with toys, one can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia evoked from music that tackles societal, as well as emotional, issues--an odd mixture. 

     Girlpool is bad-ass band trying to get their message across in every song, but don't surmise that they lack sensitivity or emotional depth. Tracks like "Chinatown" perfectly encapsulate the soft, sensitive side of Girlpool. As the song laments about what seems to be a lost lover, inner demons are illustrated via dark lyrics. The second verse says, at one point, "I am nervous for tomorrow and today," as well as, "If I loved myself,/ Would I take it the wrong way?" Girlpool tackles everything in their lyrics from gender roles in modern society to lost love to issues with self-acceptance. And, all this is done with a simple, folksy, DIY-sounding form of Punk that keeps your foot tapping the entire way through the album. Girpool is going to be huge! Pick up/listen to their music now! We love them here at Multi-Fret. Check out our top 5 tracks from the album below:

Album of the Week 4/17 - 4/23: "All of Something" by Sports

     Are you a fan of DIY-sounding, Indie-tinged Punk with female vocals? Or, did you not even know that such a musical concoction existed? Either way, if you like any music influenced by Punk or Indie styles, the Ohio-based band Sports (also written as SPORTS, at times) is something you should most definitely look into! With their newest LP release, "All of Something", Sports have recently poked their heads into the mainstream. However, the band is still a bit of a contradiction--they seem to be a band floating through the mainstream, all while evoking a sense of an "underground" sentiment.  This is reinforced, in part, by the fact that the band has been written about in Rolling Stone while their official band site is still on Bandcamp.com (a site for underground bands with almost no money). The album itself is a cohesive, catchy one: the songs are quick in length, as well as quick in tempo, and the lyrics usually center around break-ups.  The Surfer Rock-esque chords that make up this 10-track album make it a perfect album to pick up/download in time for summer. However, the angsty lyrics from Sports juxtapose their lighthearted musical composition. 

     For example, the lead singer (whose full name is still unknown) says un-apologetically on the track "Reality TV", "I heard you say you're broken-hearted/ Is there any other way to be?" However, don't be fooled--Sports is not a group that merely pumps out break-up laments with a Surfer Rock sound. The band manages to shift their focal point from song to song, inhibiting any stagnancy or redundancy. In addition, the album even holds Sports' first acoustic ballad: "Clean Socks". Not only can you bob your head to this band, you can give a serious nod towards your stereo as you savor their sensitivity that practically oozes out of the speakers. Keep following Sports, because you are going to be hearing a hell of a lot more about them in the near future! Check out our top 5 fav tracks off of the album below:
