New single: BANG THEM BONES
ZouZou Mansour (frontwoman): “We love recording while we’re touring in Sweden–and have done so every time we go. It always feels like we’re just a little more “beat up” mid-way through our tours there, so it’s a good time to get some honest representation of ourselves recorded. This one was another song written by Sulo (Sören Karlsson, frontman of Swedish rock band The Diamond Dogs). We immediately love how it reminded us of a 60s/70s rock anthem. The title can be interpreted in so many ways, too–which we love writing our own songs in that style, and often, Sulo’s style complements our songwriting in that way. This time, we recorded in a new-to-us recording studio–which keeps things fresh and fun for us.”
TUTV: Soraia let the good times roll like Joan Jett alaways did and still does. Bang Them Bones is vintage rock vitality. Burners on, cylinders on, amps up, and steaming full blast ahead is the mission. Expect steadfast drum/bass collaboration, revved up guitars, sexy vocals and a towering chorus. Classic rock ‘n’ roll is about lusty riffs, jagged hooks and sweaty licks. That’s what this Philly hit team is about. They move and they shout, and they do it with steaming bravado.
Hail hail.
