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

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

First up is their new, official video for song Shut Up.  After check out the opening song from their debut (debut!) live show in London in January 2012.  At bottom is a stream of their song She Will. 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, The Slits, The Raincoats, etc.).  Their debut album Silence Yourself is out May 7th in the US on Matador Records.  After you see and hear the evidence below, go pre-order their new album HERE.
