Screaming Females had such a clear goal for their sixth LP that it became almost a mantra. Songs that were concise, crisp and melodic. And that's exactly what the New Jersey punk trio delivers on Rose Mountain. Having a deeply-rooted DIY streak, they self-produced their previous releases, but brought in Matt Bayles (Mastodon, The Sword) on the new record. The result is a fitting way to celebrate 10 years together, a period that has taken the band from playing basements in their hometown to touring with the likes of Dinosaur Jr, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists and Garbage.
