Ladyshark
The new single from Ladyshark has a bouncy, jangly beat, somewhat in opposition to the more somber title “Hangin’ Out for Someone Else”. This exploration of love, specifically those initial moments when so much is unknown, is fun, well-played and almost hypnotic at times. Most of all, I liked the diversity of percussion that really drives the song forward. The tune is reminiscent of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. As a forerunner of their album release Lovesick, I’m anxious to hear the rest from this talented Nashville band. Also be sure to check out their previous album Monster for their more punk leanings.
Ladyshark are a stripped-back, indie-rock trio using guitar loops, FX, vocals and drums. Sarah Vardy is on guitar/guitar loops/lead vocals. Megan ‘Raygun’ Dillard is on bass. And Rene Lambert is smashing it out on drums. There’s a dark, art-rock edge to Ladyshark’s sound with a distinct riot grrrl flavour. The LP “Monsters” is available through Bandcamp and Spotify. The trio are currently working on a new release for 2017 with DIY music label Amityville Records. Ladyshark were formerly Anu Sava. Anu Sava started out as a solo project from Sarah Vardy, front woman of Australian rock band Girl With Cake. The outfit has since evolved into a dynamic and fantastic 3 piece.
