Roach Goin' Down

All female No Wave Post Punk revival reliving the pure joy of late 70’s bands Raincoats, Lilliput with use of cowbells, woodblocks, disjunct intentionally sloppy dissonant music, female vocals doubled up/harmonized like those girl groups of lore. See also Cakelike, everything on the No New York compilation from the late 70’s, Fire Engines, Glaxo Babies, Red Krayola. All songs brief, disjunct, clean dissonant guitar, lots of simple percussion thrown in, unrepentant No Wave Post Punk throw back. From NYC of course.
