Neben Wednesday und MJ Lenderman ist Bombshell der aufregendste Act, der einen grungeifizierten Folk-Rock neu denkt. Alle drei Künstlern vereint, dass sie Folk- und Country-Songs schreiben, diese aber in der Laut/Leise-Struktur des Alternative Rock der 90er spielen: Hole meets Neil Young.
Die in Los Angeles lebende New Yorkerin Sabrina Mae Teitelbaum veröffentlicht unter ihrem Künstlernamen Blondshell Anfang Mai nach ihrem starken, selbstbetitelten Debüt ihr zweites Album „If You Asked For A Picture“.

* Your three favourite Punk singles/songs?

To be honest I’m more of a post punk girl. Joy Division, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Cure, The Smiths etc.

I think Mannequin Pussy are pretty punk. I love their songs „I Got Heaven“ and „Loud Bark“.

* A record that will make you dance?

Muna’s first album!

* Your favourite song lyrics?

I love when the Sundays say „life goes on“ – you really believe it haha.

* The best “new” artist / band right now?

I’m loving this new Saya Gray record:
The record feels super adventurous and ambitious. I love the writing.

* Your favourite song about rebellion/revolution?

„Androgynous“ by The Replacements felt a lot like rebellion to me when I first fell in love with it. I was in high school and had just never heard people sing about gender that way.

* Your favourite movie about music – and why?

Probably „Ray“ or „Walk The Line“ – I love Ray Charles and Johnny Cash and those movies made me fall in love with the music even more. Also just world class acting.

* Wednesday, Waxahatchee or The Last Dinner Party – which one do you prefer and why?

All of them – they are so different.

* The best song you’ve ever written / recorded?

„Arms“ off my new album 🙂 it’s just super to the point and came out close to how we intended which is somewhat rare.

* Your favourite German song/record?

I’m a big Kraftwerk fan.

* Your favourite record of all time?

Tattoo You by The Rolling Stones – it will always be the most nostalgic record ever for me.
