PlanetMosh Keeping it Metal
Hardcore Punk band Shaved Women released their nine track album Just Death via Ektrorecords on 8th August 2014. This four piece from St Louis, Missouri have already released three EPs. This full length offering is around 23 minutes of pure naked aggression. I don’t know how they chose the name, Shaved Women, as there isn’t much information about them out there but Crass did a song called Shaved Women in 1979 and could well be one of their influences, along with bands like The Exploited and GBH.
There were some good riffs and rhythm throughout, very intense but in general the songs were samey and the singing style rough and aggressive. I couldn’t really make out most of the lyrics. Just Death the title track is super-fast, Is It Worth It starts off with some fast riffs reminiscent of Dick Dale and the Deltones’ Miserlou, (the introduction music for Pulp Fiction) then merges into an aggressive Where Have All The BootBoys Gone by Slaughter and the Dogs. World of Change has a flavour of Junkie by Sham 69 but is rather monotonous.
Not an album to listen to if you want a bit of light entertainment but if you want to get a punch bag and let out some aggression then this could be the one!
