GIRLPOOL General Information:Band Members:Cleo Tucker (guitar, vox) Harmony Tividad (bass, vox) Touring members:Joshua Sushman (Synth, sax) Lauren Early (guitar) Ross Chait (drums) Active since: 2013 www.girlpoolmusic.com/Bio:Girlpool was birthed in Los Angeles' DIY punk scene, self-releasing their first EP on Bandcamp before its re-release on Wichita Recordings (Cloud Nothings, Los Campesinos!, Waxahatchee) that same year. Shortly thereafter, their debut album Before the World Was Big was released to critical acclaim. Now, after a whirlwind tour, temporary relocation to Philadelphia, and west coast return to release their second full-length (and first on Anti-) Powerplant in 2017, they have expanded their sound to something even bigger and more impressive. Jump on the bandwagon now, before this freight train gets out of control. At 21 and 20 years old respectively, Girlpool has a long future ahead of writing earnest, powerful anti-folk/punk songs. Discography:Girlpool EP (2014) Girlpool / Slutever Split (2014) Before The World Was Big (2015) Powerplant (2017) Genre:Anti-folk, punk rock, lo-fi, DIY, my high school iPod Similar/Affiliated Artists:Waxahatchee, Frankie Cosmos, Japanese Breakfast, Elliott Smith, The Breeders. Suggested Listening:If you are more of a casual fan that's not interested in hearing anything without a rhythm section, start with Powerplant. If you are a real live human being with heartstrings and emotions, start wherever. Here's some kickass songs to get you started. "American Beauty" from Girlpool"Cherry Picking" from Before The World Was Big"Crowded Stranger" from Before The World Was Big"Corner Store" from Powerplant"It Gets More Blue" from PowerplantWhat to Expect:I dunno, I've never seen them live because their Vera show sold out but this set looks like it was a blast.

I mean I guess, as long as there's someone pushing good buttons in the tent at the same time.

I really want to like this band. I listened to their last album when it came out, but it just didn’t do anything for me. I tried again after the lineup came out and still nothing. Maybe I’ll happen across their set and be blown away, but so far I’m not seeking them out.

Girlpool against most artists I could split the set of whoever I’m seeing before Girlpool, but I would rather try to clean the radioactivity off of Chernobyl with my bare hands before I decide how to handle a Girlpool/Jlin conflict.

Maybe I’ll happen across their set and be blown away, but so far I’m not seeking them out. The way their voices harmonize is some of the best I’ve heard from a duo, and their music just has a simplicity to its angst that I love so much. Their newest track Picturesong, with work from Dev Hynes from Blood Orange is my lifeblood at this point.

I'm not completely giving up on these girls yet, they're just low on my priority list at this point.

I was really hoping this thread would change my opinion on Girlpool but I like them even less now. At a certain point of drunkenness though, I could probably get really into them

I'm stoked for Girlpool's set. Haven't heard any albums in full but I like the tracks I have heard. Thanks for posting this Nick!
