The world must know! Justice must be served! If Shame, Fontaines D.C. and The Murder Capital are spearheading the post-punk revival, they owe it to a more pioneering group: Girl Band. As early as 2015, with Holding Hands With Jamie, this gang of energetic Dubliners released a very radical debut album made up of very very jagged rock with a very very very post-punk essence recalling the The Fall, Liars and even The Birthday Party... Sensitive souls should abstain from the 2019 album The Talkies as well. This second album has by no means been watered down. It’s a thick wall of sound on the outside with a tortured sentiment on the inside, and uncompromising throughout. © Marc Zisman/Qobuz
