BIOGRAPHY:
We Rock Like Girls Don't formed when Glasgwegian Ros moved to London, advertised for a rock'n'roll freak in Loot and met her match in London/ Greek drummer Vas. Initially a trio with bassist Jen, they infiltrated daytime Radio 1 as finalists in Onemusic Unsigned and rocked the X Tent at Scotland's T In The Park Festival. The band released two raucous limited edition 7" vinyl singles on their own label Distort -ROCK'N'ROLL FREAK/ HIP TO YOU and I JUST WANNA STICK MY HEAD IN THE BASS DRUM/ OUT OF CONTROL.
"Punishing drums, mastodon riffs, immeasurably terrific" NME
"The best new female rock band on the planet" KERRANG
"WRLGD rock like bastards, no qiestion" ROCKSOUND
Jen then left to rejoin her brother's band and Ros and Vas decided they didn't need a bassist after all. The duo recorded a self- financed album with Breeders producer Mark Freegard and in October 2008 unleashed ear- splitting new single VIOLENCE.
"Best single so far" ARTROCKER
"Bold, brash and utterly unforgiving" SUBBACULTCHA
"Violence has the energy and heart of a band that enjoy making music" THE MUSIC MAGAZINE
"Ladies and Gentlemen, THIS is girl power!" THE MAG
Since then the pair have played headline shows as a guitar/ drums duo all over the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy. Debut album HOW DID IT GET TO THIS was released in April 2009 to underground critical acclaim. We Rock Like Girls Don't signed to Domino Publishing Company in August 2009 after Ruth Rothwell saw the band play the Discovery Talent showcase at The Tabernacle in London.
HOW DID IT GET TO THIS debut album reviews:
"How Did It Get To This is the kind of awesome rock record we don't hear often enough" 8/10 NME
"This is rock'n'roll at its purest" 9/10 THE MUSIC MAGAZINE
"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.BE
"They've made the album they 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" ROOM THIRTEEN
"Loud, bad- assed and swaggering, WRLGD have carved themselves a secure niche in back-to-basics lo-fi rock" TOURDATES
