WAR ON WOMEN what a great band name! And what’s even better is that the band name is the program, and this debut album truly means war on the ear canals! The quintet from the US East Coast, in a full-house lineup with a slight female majority, blasts their 11 songs on their self-titled debut album so hard that you lose your hearing and sight. Awesome!
The five have only been playing together since 2010 and released their first and so far only EP in 2012. But with this, they simply have to achieve a breakthrough, going from 0 to number 1... WORLDWIDE! James (J.) Robbins, who has also had his fingers on the knobs and the bass with AGAINST ME! and GOVERNMENT ISSUE, certainly has a share in that. Musically, WAR ON WOMEN is not far from the hardcore punk legend GOVERNMENT ISSUE. With the power of singer Shawna Potter, "War on Women" can even set itself apart a little from the really good records of this winter. They describe themselves as a "Thrash Rock Meets Riot Grrrl" band. Yes, that hits the nail right on the head! Awesome²! Whether the songs are 1:20 minutes long ("YouTube Comments") or over 6 minutes ("Diana La Cazadora" which leans more towards AGAINST ME!), every song, yes really every song is a hit!
Normally, I would have to deduct a point because I can't hear much without the lyrics, whether on a lyric sheet, online, or in the booklet, which unfortunately I do not have. So I cannot confirm that the lyrics are supposed to be humorous, but also very angry at times. But in this case, I make an exception because WAR ON WOMEN do not deserve to lose even 1/10 of a percentage point from the highest rating. The album is simply awesome³!
