57-yr old baby and Imma second that.

[@cravecave505]

I agree 100% in terms of energy and rawness. I'm really very fascinated as I haven't been for a long time, but I honestly wonder if I would feel it the same if it were 4 guys. Don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure if part of the fascination doesn't also have to do with the hormones. I'm also an old fart over 50 years old and on the one hand we come from a generation that has seen this kind of music grow, partly even helped shape it and on the other hand are We also "only" men who simply open the "heart" when they see 4 young girls who are so „free & easy“ on stage. It's such a mixture of the feeling of wanting to 1) adopt her and 2) you know... Of course, it is irrelevant in principle, the main thing is that the sound is good, but since you both have emphasized your age, I wanted to share my thoughts, because I am also "slightly" older. Whoever might "moderate" this here, I do not mean this post in any way sexist but seriously asked myself this question of how much of the fascination the hormones have.

[@heyskipj]

@@cravecave505 I’m afraid that’s True! 4 guys might not have caught my attention. But attractiveness, energy, and charisma only get you so far. Then it’s all about the music. They hold up on Spotify.

[@sleeplessaquarius]

🤔 It's odd that people always bring age into the conversation . I can't figure out why . Seems so strange . Age is a number, like any other number .

Just found this band and they are just what I needed. I thought that bands like this died in the 90"s but this blows me away. There is hope after all.. The redheads voice is so great and reminds me of the singer from the band Pet and that is hard to do. The first song sounds like it could be Nirvana and thats a good thing.

L7 in the 1990s?

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

Wow, for a grizzled octo-centenarian like myself, I haven't felt this kind of energy since I helped John Dee summon and command elementals for the court of Elizabeth I. It's refreshing how refreshing this is because girls and rocking. Power, prose, panache, p*ssy, it's all there in spades because hey, I dug the MC5 and I remember Altamont. Yea, very refreshing. Like when I heard that reggaeton beat again but this time it was different because it was new. It ain't nothing to me man.

It's either a featherweight power tool or or it is too much guitar for the player.
