Track Of The Day 7/11 – Girls

Red Hot American Newcomers

It’s easy to take Britain’s attitude to human rights for granted.

Sure, we’ve got our problems but at least people can think what they want, wear what they like and of course listen to whatever takes their fancy.

Girls singer Christopher Owens can testify to this. Born into the Children Of God cult, the musician was not allowed to listen to any music made outside of the religious organisation.

While this did imbue him with a very individualistic creative flair, the singer was also deprived of life changing experiences. Hearing Guns N Roses for the first time via a movie, Owens knew what he wanted to do with his life.

Extremely disciplined, the singer formed Girls as an outlet for the crunching indie rock he heard in his head. Touring across America, a series of much hyped shows have seen Girls come to dear ol’ Blighty.

With their debut long player ‘Album’ achieving rave reviews, Girls have allowed us to stream their new single ‘Laura’. Biting rock music dripping in bad boy attitude it showcases their filthy thrills perfectly.
