THE AQUADOLLS RELEASE THEIR THIRD STUDIO ALBUM CHARMED VIA ENCI RECORDS – STREAM  ARRIVES WITH DECADENT OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “SPOTLIGHT” – WATCH ALBUM RELEASE SHOW TONIGHT IN LA AT THE MOROCCAN LOUNGE WRAPPING UP HEADLINE ‘SPRING FLING TOUR’ BEFORE PLAYING RIOT FEST AND OHANA LATER THIS YEAR   “A walking dichotomy, covered in glass and glitter. On one hand… they’re a joyful exercise in melodic pop-rock, kitted out in sparkles and mermaid tails. But life has a habit of reminding us that it’s not all sunshine, puppy dogs and rainbows, and the Aquadolls encapsulate that majestically.” “Having made a name for themselves in the past 10 years of their operation, LA’s The Aquadolls are onto their next big thing.”

“This group of badass girl-rockers helped paved the way for all the Snail Mails, Chastity Belts and Soccer Mommies dominating the indie-rock scene right now.”

Today, LA’s resident femme-punk royalty The Aquadolls release their hotly anticipated third studio album Charmed via Enci Records. The band’s first album in five years, Charmed was produced by Chris Szczech who is renowned for his work with The Goo Goo Dolls. Named after the hit 90s/00s TV show, the album fuses elements of melodic 60s harmonies and 90s-driven crunchiness with a modern twist that ushers in a new era for the band, and serves as a strong representation of where they are going next. Don’t let the relatable tales focused on love and relationships, heartbreak and longing, fool you, The Aquadolls are still about having fun and showcasing humor in their lyrics – Stream. What started off as frontwoman Melissa Brooks’ bedroom demos and loose ideas turned into nine songs that perfectly chart The Aquadolls’ growth as a band. Charmed is also the first time that the trio wrote as a unit, allowing the tracks to blossom in the studio before transforming into the fully fleshed-out songs that ended up on the album. Nothing is off limits as the band dives deep into everything from loving yourself first, to the uncertainty of hookups, to the confines of capitalism, all with a twinkle of nostalgia. In discussing Charmed, bassist Keilah Nina said, “This album to me is about love in all forms: self-love, sisterhood, romance, etc., and how magical (and sometimes terrifying) love can feel when you truly succumb to it in every way.” Press photo by Jenna Houchin  Today also sees the release of the official video for “Spotlight.” In the decadent, boudoir-style video directed by longtime creative collaborator Jenna Houchin, the band revels in excess and confidence, perfectly paired with the creeping sexiness of the track – Watch.

In celebration of today’s album release, The Aquadolls have been out on the road since April bringing all their new tunes to fans across North America via the Spring Fling tour. Along this run, the band made a monumental stop at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees, drawing one of their largest crowds to date. Tonight, The Aquadolls will play a triumphant album release show in their hometown of Los Angeles. Later in the year, fans can catch the band at Riot Fest and Ohana Festival.
