Now we're in March and the female quartet from London have announced their forthcoming, May released album "Silence Yourself" and with it decided to stream a song taken from the much anticipated LP, "She Will". We're greeted with a reverberating and spacious guitar riff joined with disjointed drums and a gritty driven bassline that will get any Joy Division fans slobbering, a feat imitators like White Lies and Editors failed to achieve. "She will forget her name, she will come back again, get hooked on loving hard, forcing the slut out!" vocalist and all round badass, Jehnny Beth proclaims with intent. Whether its from personal experience or just casual observations that the frontwoman speaks it is delivered with such passion and intensity that really sells this band as a believable force rather than just an entertaining one (and believe me they entertain). Definitely more than the Siouxsie & The Banshees cover band they've been made out to be, "She Will" proves that Savages are a force to be reckoned with and an album less than two months away should be music to your ears. "She Will" will be available on the upcoming LP "Silence Yourself", available May 6th on Matador Records.

New Choons: Savages - 'She Will'
As
anybody who watches 'Later... With Jools Holland' (a UK live music
performance TV show for the unknowing) knows, the show is known for
giving certain lesser known bands their 'big break'. Yuck, Ellie
Goulding, Villagers and UK indie champions Arctic Monkeys are all
groups that owe the programme their first TV appearance. Sadly
these days, the moments of mind expanding representation of
understated artists seem few and far between as the show has taken
more of a commercially pleasing line up of artists and the last
series in particular had me slightly disenchanted. It was in October
last year that I was enduring an especially mind numbing episode
(featuring yawn-inducing scarecrows Mumford & Sons) in which
Savages decided to slap the barnyard folk loving moms and blow Marcus
Mumford's pathetic moustache off with their minacious and captivating
first single "Husbands" featured on the double A side with
the equally enthralling "Flying To Berlin".
Now we're in March and the female quartet from London have announced their forthcoming, May released album "Silence Yourself" and with it decided to stream a song taken from the much anticipated LP, "She Will". We're greeted with a reverberating and spacious guitar riff joined with disjointed drums and a gritty driven bassline that will get any Joy Division fans slobbering, a feat imitators like White Lies and Editors failed to achieve.
