The
Violents -
Rebecca's Morning Voice
This Champaign-Urbana female punkpop power-trio have been giving
our local music scene a righteous shake-up for over a year now.
This is their debut album, a musical blend the Chainsaw/Kill Rock
Stars/K Records aesthetic with echoes of former Champaign powerhouse
Sarge. The Violents are the Power of Grrrl Power incarnate. From
the strummy and smoldering opening peals of “Sledding” to
the raucous riffs of combustible live favorite “Pants Of
Flame”, The Violents have injected each song with a degree
of angst and intimacy that is confounding. The album is divided
into two distinct halves. The first being the mellower “side," songs
sung directly to the listener and the best advice is to listen,
their imparting theories of some importance. The second “side” is
a head-over-bootheels assault, a handful of classic girl-and-guitar-driven
punk-rock odes distilled to the most primal of essences. For fans
of totally rockin’ chicks like Sleater-Kinney, Bratmobile,
The Butchies, Team Dresch, The Breeders, Corndolly, etc.

we do have some major influences:
Sleater Kinney
the Butchies
Team Dresch
go-go dancers
Corndolly
the Breeders
Mud-wise
we could be grouped with Corndolly & Feaze (that
would be a fun show). We love our new CD and we just want you
