We’ve all stood on chairs in order to get a better look at a moose at one time or another, that much is certain. But this isn’t an attempt to muster up nostalgia for simpler times. This is a different kind of story altogether.

Screaming Females is an indie rock/punk band from New Brunswick, New Jersey;  Marissa Paternosten on guitar and vocals, Jarrett Dougherty on drums and ‘King’ Mike Rickenbacker on bass. We had the good fortune to catch them at the Golden West recently.

First look at Marissa and you see a small girl in a militant red dress, tights and the coolest black wingtip shoes.  She is cute.  No, she is adorable with a squeaky voice that you’d totally expect. What you don’t expect is her singing (screaming), the way she shreds, the non-stop swirling, squealing and scratching as she soars through scales with pure power and energy.
