FOR FANS OF: Bad Waitress, VENUS GRRRLS, L7
Grungey, feminist rock is alive and well with bands like Seattle's own Kitty Junk. Kitty Junk are a duo consisting of members of Angie Dane and Ryan Lee, who also belong to the all-female hard rock trio Atrocity Girl, with guitarist Johnny Angel. Atrocity Girl formed as an "independent, creative entity after many sexist encounters within the music industry," and they aim to make the rock world a more gender-inclusive, and POC-friendly space - which Kitty Junk stands by as well. They work to achieve the same goal through heavy tracks and activism.
"Head Rush" is the duo's second single, following their debut single, "Converse Theory," which dropped earlier this year. It's a melodic, classically grunge track, reminisce of bands like Alice In Chains. It's slow and harsh, a track that makes you want to headbang and let yourself feel all of your heavy emotions. I love this track so much, it's an instant-classic.
It's got killer guitar riffs, deep lyrics, vibrant drums and vocals that are addicting and unique. I love this track, and I love everything Kitty Junk is about and stands for. On the day "Head Rush" was released, May 27th, 2021, they entered Earwig Studio to record their debut album, which I'm so ready to hear right now. "Head Rush" is brilliant, as so is their previous single, "Converse Theory." Just off of their first two tracks I can tell that they're a strong, solid band who knows what they're doing and what they're about, and I'm so excited for their future.
