51: Screaming Females // All At Once

All At Once Screaming Females 2018, Don Giovanni (Bandcamp) After 18 hard-touring years and eight LPs, Screaming Females are probably still best known for a Sheryl Crow cover and Marisa Paternoster appearances on greatest guitarist listicles as the token post-Bonnie Raitt lady entry. As perhaps the most reliable live act in indie rock, Paternoster and her band deserve a lot more for their efforts than that. Her Ann Wilson-sized voice could kill a good-sized bird in mid-flight if she aimed it right, and high gain amps follow her around music stores like tame squirrels hoping to be fed. Seeing the Females live though, it’s clear that Mike Abbate, a menhir of a bassist, and platonic-ideal-of-an-alternative-rock-drummer Jarrett Dougherty are just as important to their power. The first time I watched the trio twister through seven head-spinning minutes of “Doom 84” (from 2012’s Ugly), it was as immense a force as I’ve felt a rock band generate.

Every Screaming Females album is good: All At Once just happens to be the one they were touring when they left my jaw literally hanging. At 15 songs and 51 minutes it’s just long enough to press as a double LP, and it might have a tad more impact if they’d’ve dropped two or three songs—but it’s a mark of the record’s quality that I doubt any two listeners would pick exactly the same two or three to cut. It’s also their catchiest record. “I’ll Make You Sorry” dives into pop punk after years of flirtation; “My Body” does happy Sheer Mag as well as Sheer Mag ever has; and the feet-up contentment of “Bird in Space” is about as close as they’ve come to a Ted Leo song.

You might not need every Females LP, but you should probably have at least one. Why not this one?

beloved @megafaunatic and @uhuraisgay tagged me in a 5 no skips album post and I immediately forgot every album I've ever listened to... but I'm remembering so let's gooo

rose mountain by screaming females - kind of a toss up between this album and and all at once, but wishing well + burning car + rose mountain really make it for me. marisa paternoster pls call me

expert in a dying field by the beths - a very recent addition but I basically have not stopped listening to this album since claire recommended it to me last year. a total delight

transgender dysphoria blues by against me! - once again it is a nightmare trying to pick between albums but I truly believe this is one of the most important records of all time

dirty computer by janelle monae - album of the year every year. not a single song that isn't a certified banger. plus, I'm a sucker for a concept album; I love the world-building & aesthetic experience of the universe they created

three cheers for sweet revenge by my chemical romance - self-explanatory

tagging @48dumplings @theparadigmshifts @conceivablyanyone @monsieurlerobot @pegasusgoat and anyone else who wants to participate!

marisa paternoster and i have the same birthday.. 😳

Sei personaggi in cerca d'autore di Luigi Pirandello

Sei personaggi in cerca d’autore di Luigi Pirandello

Il 4 marzo scorso, prima della chiusura dei teatri in tutta Italia, in questo clima di malesseri e di incertezza, ci siamo trovati al teatro degli Impavidi a Sarzana per celebrare un classico rito: l’arrivo dei sei personaggi in cerca di un autore. Bella sfida per un regista affrontare Pirandello e ripulirlo dalla patina del “classico���. Una sfida che Michele Sinisi, con questo spettacolo, ha…

UNDER THE RADAR: Screaming Females – “Glass House”.

The New Jersey DIY-punk luminaries have announced their seventh studio album All At Once, due out next year on February 23, on the ever wonderful Don Giovanni Records.

Listen to new track Glass House which singer/guitarist, Marisa Paternoster describes thus, “It’s very simple — just bass, drums, and two simple riffs. In the past, I might have insisted on adding more. Practicing self-restraint is something I have consciously been trying to do.”

Sounds great. Roll on the album.
