T.I.T.S.

T.I.T.S are the four ladies of San Francisco better known as Kim West (Crack: WAR, Death Sentence: Panda!), Abbey Kerins (Verbalala, Death & Dying), Mary Elizabeth Yarbrough (MeowMeow and the MeowMeows), and Wendy Farina (Towel, Condor, Amber Asylum). The quartet ply their trade in a kind of witchy / experimental / spaced-out / doom-laden pop, which could easily evoke reminiscences as diverse as Sabbath or Erase Errata or The Troggs or Boris maybe?

The T.I.T.S sound is underpinned by Mary Elizabeth's black-metal bass lines and Wendy's totally animal drum pound. Abbey's guitar lays down a simple rock riff, while Kim's emits a subtly oscillating sheet of feedback. Over the top, all four harmonise with a kind of semi-operatic, fantasy whisper. The effect is this inexplicable feel of time-travelling castle metal – of four ladies of the lake casting forth a single Excalibur, sinking it into stone so deep, no Arthur shall ever wield it. Ever.
