Ladyhawk: "Fight For Anarchy" (Jagjaguwar) Six tracks that immediately come across like the mans next version of a drunken Arcade Fire. They are in fact four brothers fascinated by the power of rawk 'n' booze and by the sound of all that squawling- don't give a shit- feedback. Apparently with an awesome live reputation, they combine acoustic strum, stoned drawl with equal parts 'foot up on the monitor posturing'- coming across much like J Masciss' Dinosaur Jr on a downer.Ladyhawk are new on the scene, but they have quickly established themselves as a very special live act, and they are a band committed to touring. They have already toured with the likes of Black
Mountain and Magnolia Electric Co., and are set to perform with Saturday Looks Good To Me and the Constantines.
“Ladyhawk show that, like Spoon, Dinosaur Jr. or Tom Waits, they have the ability to conjure growls, snarls and storms of sound into musical lightning, never striking the same place twice”
