Doll Riot is back to get you moshing in your living room. Theyโre taking on PJ Harveyโs iconic track โSheela-Na-Gigโ with all the ferocity and attitude youโd expect from this San Diego-based all-girl rock group.
The song explodes with shimmering guitar lines that build like a sonic boom before erupting into a full-on sonic assault. Drummer Lillee Gillum lays down a beat tighter than a drumhead while the bass throbs with the fury of a thousand girl gangs. As the song progresses, the instrumentation only gets more intense, with blazing guitars and pounding drums driving the track forward with relentless force.
But Elena Olszak, Doll Riotโs vocalist, truly steals the show. Her voice is a revelationโdripping with lush sensation, one minute smooth and rich, the next a chaotic, punky, energetic belting that will knock you flat on your back. She commands the song with infectious energy, weaving through dynamic highs and lows that perfectly capture the rebellious spirit of the original.
Doll Riot is the real deal. Theyโve already clocked in nearly 100 shows, sharing the stage with legends like Agent Orange and Poison Hearts. Theyโre carrying the torch of riot girl heroes like L7, Hole, and Bikini Kill with an exhilarating and terrifying fury.
And the best part? Their upcoming LP, Grage, drops on June 14. It is produced by the legendary Alex Estrada (Touchรฉ Amore, Joyce Manor, Rotting Out). If โSheela-Na-Gigโ is any indication, Grage will bring the full ride to the blaze.
Pre-order Grageโ now. Catch them live, playing Punk Rock Bowling at the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center this May.
