Insinuating, inflammable and unstoppable, “Crimes” is filled with drilling guitar riffs, dazzled with instantly recognizable cowbells and grounded by confident drum and gnawing bass. As the lyrics declared, a destined Gloom Girl MFG takeover is “a crime that you can’t get away from.”
Regarding the new single, lead singer Paige MacKinnon stated: “‘Crimes’ is about someone who's right in the middle of an emotional explosion. They're fed up trying to play the game of love as they see it. And through that we’re speaking to a truth about how intertwined our human experiences in the world are with the way we show love to one another. It can be messy and it can be beautiful too."
Brad Shultz praised the band: “Absolutely love working with Gloom Girl! It’s so inspiring to be involved with an artist in the midst of them truly exploring, finding, and pushing the boundaries of their sound.”
Gloom Girl MFG recently announced their EP release headline show at The Basement East, their biggest headline to date. Tickets for the May 2 show is on sale today, more info available HERE
Tastemaker publications from SPIN to FLOOD to Nashville Scene have already predicted their rapid rise and global domination beyond their dedicated Nashville following. Drawn to dynamic singer and lead guitarist Paige MacKinnon, who is backed by Ethan Waggoner (rhythm guitar), Stephen Sobolewski (bass guitar), and Connor McCourt (drums). The band combines a familiar nostalgia with an undeniably fresh fusion of punk, grunge, and indie rock, channeling the spirit of trailblazers like The Pretenders, PJ Harvey, and Sleater-Kinney with the sneering vibrancy of acts like IDLES.
Gloom Girl MFG is the emerging force buzzing in gritty clubs and beloved music venues innovating right in the center of the music scene in Music City, far from the machine of its country roots and bachelorette-laden honky-tonks. In the midst of an indie rock evolution, Gloom Girl MFG is stirring the pot with their mission in mind: to provide a musical escape from global gloom, one with a community around it, fueled by an inclusivity that sedates the increasingly digitally-fueled urge to be a part of something tangible. Something powerful.
It’s this theme that resonates throughout their new EP Polycrisis. Produced by Brad Shultz (Cage The Elephant), its title projects the concept of separate pieces compounding to form something bigger. That dichotomy is echoed musically within their stabbing modern riot grrrl tracks that juxtapose unsuspectingly against energetic honesty, lyrical depth, and a human quality too often absent in heavier music.
