Chicks Who Love Guns are the best band in Australia. I don’t know much about bands from there, all I know is that Silverchair were one of the best bands ever and they too, came from Australia. So, what we can take from this is that Australia produces some good fucking music.

If you like gentle music that makes you feel like you’re being held. Maybe you’re a sadcase who cries themselves to sleep every single night because the likes of Adele express how you feel. Yeah, get in line with the rest of those who read Closer and drink Diet Coke because they want to spend their evening with their best friends Ben & Jerry after work, just to balance it out. It’s cool if that works for you, I mean- for every together person in the universe, there’s about 50 listening to Someone Like You thinking about a lover from 10 years ago.

Chicks Who Love Guns are brutal. If  Test Icicles were still around (I love you Dev, this is where it started man) Chicks Who Love Guns would be an AMAZING support on some world tour, where their stage antics made them the new Iggy & The Stooges. But hey, it’s never going to happen. But being the new Iggy & The Stooges just might.

Forget trying to find a genre to throw them into- it’s not about that at all. They are creating this insane tension filled music that makes me glad I am still breathing. This is my favourite band right now, for sure. I love how aggressive it sounds. I know I’m partial to the relaxed sounds of The xx and Warpaint but sometimes, I need something so fucking loud. Something so grand and loud. Vomit On The Dancefloor makes me want to go to some rundown gig venue, throw my limbs about and shake my head until I pass out. The night would end with my Docs covered in cheap whiskey and clothes being a bit ripped. My jacket would be safe though. That’s always a given. The jacket must always be safe.

Hand on heart, I honestly do not expect any of my friends to dig this band nor do I even expect them to read any of this. I won’t say to any of them to check out Chicks Who Love Guns because I know they want. So, I’m giving it to YOU instead. A complete stranger who I am placing some faith in that you will actually go listen to these guys, and fall in love like I have. Fall in love hard. Be covered in bruises and cuts. Leave yourself black and blue. Bleed a little. Let out your crazy and violent side to this. Just..I don’t know- fuck shit up if you must. I don’t know.

Chicks Who Love Guns are noisy and raw. It has undertones of Garage Rock, Punk and a wee bit of Shoegaze. It’s no surprise that I love them. It’s a lo-fi riot that I never want to stop.

This is the real deal. This is what we all need. This is music to zone out to, it is music to go wonderfully insane to. So do it.
