In case you missed it, four of the most rocking women around decided to get back to making music and call themselves Wild Flag. Carrie Brownstein, Janet Weiss, Mary Timony, and Rebecca Cole have quite a rock 'n 'roll pedigree, having logged time and miles in bands including Sleater-Kinney, Quasi, Helium, Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks, and The Minders. It then goes without saying that Wild Flag's debut is both highly-anticipated and chock full of hard rocking riffs -- and, undoubtedly, a good time. The band recently released a trailer for their self-titled debut album, which features clips of a few album tracks. Check it out below.
Co-Directors: Andrew Ellmaker + Lara Gallagher
DP: Andrew Ellmaker
Production Company: Hollerings
Costume Designer: Stacey Berman
Props: Fredericks & Mae
Featuring: Jolie Signorile, Alex Lee, C Peirce, Leon T. Bort, Stacey Berman, Tina Balthaza
Hear and download album track "Romance" below. If you like fun, killer guitar riffs, drum beats meant for air drumming along to, pogoing up and down, energy, or any combination of these things, you're probably going to dig this. It's rock 'n' roll crunch meets power pop charm -- or simply the quintessential sound of indie rock.
