WE ROCK LIKE GIRLS DON'T are an electrifying female guitar/drums duo from Glasgow and London.
Since January 2009 the pair have been playing wild shows around the UK, Germany, Netherlands and Italy to increasingly fervent reviews.
Self-financed debut album HOW DID IT GET TO THIS is in the shops now on the band's own label Distort via CARGO and available for download on all major download services.
"How Did It Get To This is the kind of awesome rock record we don't hear often enough. Dirty riffs roar and screech against relentless rhythms and catchy pop choruses; think PJ Harvey and QOTSA in a bloody, pummeled-to-tiny pieces musical fist fight" 8/10
"This is rock'n'roll at its purest" 9/10 Recommended Album, THE MUSIC MAGAZINE
"They've made the album they've always threatened" ALBUM OF THE WEEK, ORGAN "If PJ Harvey and Josh Homme had got together about a decade earlier and decided to indulge their mutual garage-punk influences this is what it may well have sounded like. A dark and edgy debut from British duo that could well turn into a very essential outfit on the garage rock circuit" ROOM THIRTEEN "We Rock Like Girls Don't have produced a debut album that is as pugnacious as their name. They take their lead from PJ Harvey's playful, satirical 50ft Queenie yet sound deadly serious in their intent to beat guys such as Black Lips at their DIY garage punk game. Songs about dysfunctional, obsessive love or losing it to rock'n'roll pinball from the low-slung to the unhinged with great alacrity" THE SCOTSMAN "How Did It Get To This recalls the feral ferocity of early PJ Harvey, the stark rock fire of Pixies and the insouciance of Yeah Yeah Yeahs" METRO "Like a drunken teenager tightrope-walking the wall of a multi-story car park's upper floor, WRLGD pick semblance from cacophany and inexplicably succeed on all levels" **** SUBBACULTCHA "Loud, bad-assed and swaggering, though certainly not lacking in melody, WRLGD have carved themselves a secure niche in back-to-basics lo-fi rock" TOURDATES "This album growls and claws at your inner ear with decibel offensive climaxes and enough melodic sensibilities to appeal to both sexes. Batten down the hatches folks, loud women in the area" MANCHESTER MUSIC "The first time I heard it I wanted to cut off my toes and shove them in my ears, pour lighter fluid on my speakers and throw them on top of a live hand grenade. The sound has the anarchic ferocity of the White Stripes and vintage Therapy with hints of Siouxsie And The Banshees. " ROCK REALMS “Drums, feedback, noise, glitches and after ten seconds the killer riff that sets us free. The groove is found and we are off on one of the most exciting rock rollercoasters of 2009" HUMO.BE1. VIOLENCE

WE ROCK LIKE GIRLS DON'T formed when Glaswegian guitarist/vocalist Ros Cairney met Greek, London born drummer Vas Antoniadou after advertising for a Rock'n'Roll Freak in Loot.
Nine months later with bassist Jen Simpson, first demo ROCK'N'ROLL FREAK on daytime Radio 1, We Rock Like Girls Don't had found their name, their attitude and released two acclaimed singles on their own label Distort.
Ltd edition debut 7'' vinyl ROCK N ROLL FREAK/HIP TO YOU was supported by John Peel, Zane Lowe, Jo Whiley and Alan McGee on Radio 1 and follow up CD & 7" single I JUST WANNA STICK MY HEAD IN THE BASS DRUM/OUT OF CONTROL had the music press embracing the noise.
Jen left We Rock Like Girls Don't to rejoin her brother's band and Ros and Vas decided they didn't need bass after all.
We Rock Like Girls Don't have slayed audiences all round the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Italy, supported THE KILLERS, THE CRIBS, headlined Club NME in Nottingham and Glasgow, Artrocker and Death Disco in London and rocked the X Tent at Scotland's T in the Park festival.
