Music Central Episode 10 (4/11/12):

GIRLS

On last night's show it featured my brother, Chris. We have heard Chris before from several UFO 8 sounds clips during transitions. That night, we were going to see one of our favorite bands called GIRLS. They are a San Francisco based band that achieved success with their first album titled Album (2009). We started off with Laura and Ghost Mouth, both, of course, off of said album. We discussed every song, the album's popularity, and the freshness of it all. The album opened doors for us - making us interested in morden rock. It's no wonder that the album is on my top 10 of greatest albums of all time.

Next, we played Oh So Protective One and Alright off of GIRLS's next release: Broken Dreams Club. The album was released in 2010, a year after their first release. The album only contained 6 new tracks, however, we loved it. GIRLS stepped into new boundaries, adding a horn section - and a full time band. In their previous release, the band consisted of just Christopher Owens and Chet JR White, and two drummers that would come in. Great album, we were excited upon it's release. We both love how GIRLS was experimenting with new sounds - and it worked!

And finally, their lasted release - their second full length album: Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Chris and I were excited by this album and it passed our expectations. The music sounded crisp, refreshing, and mature. Owens really crafted something great and it makes Album seem so amateur. The album featured the single Vomit - an epic song with a taste of Pink Floyd towards the end. Die, another hardcore song, blew Morning Light out of the water. The GIRLS's pop sound is still here too (Honey Bunny and Magic). Also great alternative tunes (Alex and My Ma). Hellhole Ratrace's brother Forgiveness shows up on here - over 7 minutes long!
