We love all good music, and as a result, you may experience some whip-saw while winding along the Lefort way.\u00a0 We will vacillate between good folk, rock, country, punk, R&B, gospel, EDM, classical, reggae and etc.\u00a0 For example, in the last few days we’ve been focused on some quieter sounds.\u00a0 But we couldn’t hold back London’s The Savages<\/strong><\/a> any longer.<\/p>\n

Despite day-time slots at Coachella<\/strong>, the word from Hades was that The Savages’<\/strong> live, post-punk performances had eclipsed the raving rumors emanating from across the Pond.\u00a0 Without further adieu, check out The Savages<\/strong> and their brainy, superbly-muscular attack below.\u00a0 Though the band savages as a whole, we particularly love Gemma Thomson’s<\/strong> complex guitar attack and the intelligence\/intensity of singer Jehnny Beth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

First up is their new, official video for song Shut Up<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 After check out the opening song from their debut (debut!) live show in London in January 2012.\u00a0 At bottom is a stream of their song She Will<\/strong><\/em>. We think you’ll agree this is a new band to be reckoned with and one which adds to the promise of the female, post-punk pioneers in Britain that came before them (Siouxie Sioux<\/strong>, The Slits<\/strong>, The Raincoats<\/strong>, etc.).\u00a0 Their debut album Silence Yourself <\/strong>is out May 7th<\/strong> in the US on Matador Records<\/strong>.\u00a0 After you see and hear the evidence below, go pre-order their new album HERE<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n
