Perfect Pussy, Ex-Breathers, the Areolas - Will's Pub - Orlando Weekly

Perfect Pussy, Ex-Breathers, the Areolas - Will's Pub - Orlando Weekly

So, yeah, the name. It’s simultaneously everything and nothing, right? A bold and provocative name that dares you to snicker at it, but one that gives you exactly no clue as to how completely and deeply this band will destroy you. Helmed by ex-Shoppers vocalist Meredith Graves, this Syracuse-based quartet released the blistering I Have Lost All Desire For Feeling EP via their Bandcamp page in late 2013, and subsequently lit up a corner of the Internet that had apparently been breathlessly awaiting a fiery – if willfully smudged – squall of righteous and cathartic punk rock steeped in distortion and emotion. There are no song titles to guide you along, no clear lyrics, but somehow the intensity and energy of Graves’ hard-to-parse attack is crystalline in its coalescence with the band’s hardcore assault. It’s an out-of-focus blur of rage and retribution; a high-voltage flailing that ultimately sounds like some sort of personal last stand. And it’s absolutely amazing. – Jason Ferguson
