i'm a 71 year old rocker and i haven't heard or seen energy like that since the late 60's when i was a fanboy of the mc5 and that detroit raw energy sound...rock on ladies!!!!!

[@heyskipj]

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.

🤔 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 .

[@b.m.6492]

[@black-eyedNed]

Freakin great tone on the SG !

[@bradleyheck7204]

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

[@joeminor15]

The SG has the best tone in my opinion, and not just because I own one. It’s the reason I own one, other than looking badass.

[@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.

[@davehuskey6424]

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.

In the first time lives a stern queen She saves the circle of my light in exchange for a prison of peace And I walk through blind labyrinths and papier-mâché funerals in my mind For a jolt in the darkness where stone crosses shatter in the corners of the night at the feet of merchants and thieves Like white statues Standing in line incessantly in the controversial dark town where everything is allowed for the conquest of success Kiss the Cross, Eat the Faith She loves the force of this torture And he clothed in light In the slow shadow of this sun behind the sign of a cross And give me out twisted monster Give me strength To keep crawling to survive like you do.
