Forsalgsbillet: Tryk her!

Don't is melodic garagepunkrock with female vocal fra Portland i USA. We're talking about a bit of Gun Club meets The Gits meets The Wipers, nothing less! Don’t is a surf-tinged garagepunk group featuring members of Napalm Beach and the Wipers and fantastic singer Jenny Don’t, whose voice has the same throaty, dark quality as a young, hungry Siouxie Sioux.

Don't stirs up a musical witches brew with powerful songs that defy easy classification; sometimes dark and eerie, sometimes punk and surfy, but always melodic. The band formed in Portland in 2009 when Jenny Don't (lead vocals, guitar) was introduced to drummer Sam Henry (The Wipers,Napalm Beach, The Rats).

Guitarist Kelly Gately along with bassist Dave Minick (Napalm Beach) were roped in, and the result was a genre-blurring blend that opened a Pandora's box of musical touchstones. A live presence to be reckoned with from their very first show, the band quickly built an enthusiastic and loyal following across the Northwest.

Singvogel er tilbage på 1000Fryd med et giftigt miks af punkrock, blæseinstrumenter, pop og kontrolleret kaos.

Singvogel er snerrende monosynth, elmandolin på melodi og knasende lydvæg, melodisk og sonisk fremmedartet elektroklarinet, basklarinet og freaksaxofon, kogende trommer, fuzzguitar og ord direkte fra forstaden Aarhus nord om dunkle visioner i linje 7 (nu 2A), hverdagsparanoia, hærværk mod kommunen, lyst og lede.

Gruppens lyd er f.eks. beskrevet sådan her i Terminal Boredom - amerikansk musikmagasin:

“...a ton of character from the bass clarinet, which gives it a real creepy vibe that plays well off of the wall of sound the rest of the band put up … all rhythm and drive. Super solid recording ... it really has a catchy momentum to it. Sort of grim, but not evil sounding, very European/hinterlands.”
