Ok, this may be one of the most original songs I’ve gotten to review so far. It took me a while listening to it figure out what I wanted to say about it. This chick reminds me so much of Debbie Harry back in the day vocally. It’s that raw energy that almost always seems barely contained. She’s not always on with the vocals, but that power is always felt. The music falls somewhere between some alt rock and punk which I would imagine is why they list post – punk as their genre. I thought there was some great rock style guitar work going on in there that was born to be matched with the vocals. The drum work is really fun and fast paced as any punk/rock song should be.
An enthusiastic two thumbs up for this track. I’m a GoT fan so the name caught me right away. I thought the overall vibe was fun and made feel a lot more energetic. To me that is exactly what this song brings to the table, high energy. Feel free to flame me for this in the comments, but I’m not aware of any other current bands with this sound so I can’t give you a good playlist recommendation. Just download it and throw it in to a random list and you’ll be fine!
