Girlfiend

The LA-based post-punk/alt. Rock band Girlfiend is fronted by Comet, a gender non-conforming visual artist.
Rock and the Riot Grrrl movement and sound, mixed with a bit of Comet’s own demonic/vampiric elven aesthetic are what inspire Girlfiend's strong visuals and dissonant sound. Girlfiend is an ideal mix of their love of performance art and dirty rock and roll. Girlfiend’s sound lives in a dark space that is at once luscious, grimey, jagged, and beautiful. The lyrics often evoke sadness, angst, and violence, but have catharsis as their ultimate goal. Most importantly to both band members is creating Queer Girl Band music that is as revolutionary as it is contagiously listenable. 
Their debut single, Garden of Ache, is a dark, infectious example of all they stand for, artistically, socially, and musically.
