Biography:
The originators of the genre, !Cuntcore!, the She-Devils would best be described as Raw, Hard, *All Original* Industrial, Noise Metal. Coming out of Springfield, Illinois, this all-original, threesome has been at the forefront of the midwest music scene since their debut in 1999. With a unique mix of moody, sultry, spooky melodies, thick, sludgy, grinding rhythms, and heavy, pounding, danceable choruses created by smooth howling lead guitar, abrasive de-tuned guitar, pumping bass and industrialized power drumming, topped off with unforgettable, aggressive vocals.
The "Drugtrash Demos" is the first CD release by the She-Devils, featuring 4-Track demos of songs recorded by the Springfield based, independent record label, Bruce William's Orange Juice Records. Included on the release, 'BitchCrack', shows the bands' versatility with a haunting melody and an explosive distorted chorus. Whereas, the album closer, 'Strip', an obvious fan favorite, shows the angry and aggressive side of the band.
"You can't deny the power this female-fronted band bring to their music. The singer belts out her words as the band creates a mighty din behind her,"
Will Lerner,
