It's Woman Week, Irish version!
★ ★ ★ ★ ☆
A terrific queer Irish rock band, Pillow Queens come out the gate with all their talent on bold display. This is the kind of new music that makes me, an old man, hope for the future. Assertive and honest, these songs deal with love and acceptance, whether clothed in thick guitar riffs or a softer emo strum. From snarls to soft "ohh ohh" choruses, it's catchy, poignant, and richly atmospheric. Favorite tracks: "HowDoILook," "Brothers," "Gay Girls," "Handsome Wife."
