Insert Pronoun Joke Here

From their soon to be released (end of March) Burning at Both Ends, please enjoy the charmingly monikered Hit Like a Girl and the new album's second single "Only Have Myself."

Okay, that song takes a while to get going, but trust me -- it's worth the wait. And as you can see, the video is freaking priceless. And I'm not just saying that because the band's name takes me back to my youth -- specifically, around 3rd grade, when the expression "He throws like a girl" first impinged on my consciouness.

More to the point, I am absolutely head over heels in love with the Goth chick with the black hair who fails the audition for guitar in the video. Hey -- what can I tell you, I'm a sucker for the look.

Anyway, these kids (who I was previously unaware of) have been around since 2017, and apparently they're quite highly regarded in post-hardcore/power pop/emo circles. You will also probably not be surprised to learn that front person Nicolle Maroulis (they/them) is the founder of No More Dysphoria, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization created to help transgender individuals pay for major aspects of their transition.

Alrighty then, you can (and should) find out more about the band -- including lotsa info on the new album and upcoming tour dates -- over at their official website HERE, you're welcome very much.

Oh...and in case anybody out there has that Goth guitarist's email addy, let's talk. 😎

    Nice one Rob. " I had soft hands"....... Actually Steve, on a day when we are to honor a civil rights leader who believed in being judged by 'the content of our character'.. this poly-gender poly sexual band is the right tonic. Good for them; plus standing up for the marginalized. Happy MLK Jr Day all.
