SHELLSHAG: RUMORS IN DISGUISE and SCREAMING FEMALES: SINGLES OUT TODAY!

Both bands played to a sold-out (reportedly over 200 people couldn't get in!) Bowery Ballroom in NYC this past weekend for their release shows/the Don Giovanni label showcase; Brooklyn Vegan posted awesome videos and photos HERE. Get in touch for your review copies or to interview either band if you haven't already. These folks have:

WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT RUMORS IN DISGUISE:

"On Feb. 9, the rest of the world will hear Rumors in Disguise and I can finally scream to the goddamn heavens about how great it is."--NY Press

"Rumors In Disguise, their third album, is the band's first for hot gnash-punk label Don Giovanni (home of Screaming Females), and should hopefully shed some light on their skeletal, long-awesome, abrasive sludgepunk."--Village Voice

"The Brooklyn guitar-and-bass duo kicks up the kind of rock'n'roll racket that's so self-contained it's impossible to shoehorn it in to whatever hip, hot movement is supposed to be developing right now. Juggling tiny bits of everything you've come to love in your record collection -- The Pixies, Guided By Voices, Superchunk, The Ramones are the easiest influences to glean off the top -- Shellshag spits out an album overflowing with noisy guitar pop. Remarkably plugged into the underground-rock zeitgeist without stomping on any hallowed ground, Rumors in Disguise digs into those long-buried memories of the days when independent bands formed just to have the chance to rock the fuck out."--Aversion

"...a pop sensibility ("Resilient Bastard") that often makes you sometimes forget that these songs were crafted by a sole guitarist and sole drummer with only half a set of drums."--The End of Irony

WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT SINGLES:

"...on every track of the rambunctious trio's Singles (Don Giovanni), due February 9, guitarist-singer Marissa Paternoster, drummer Jarrett Dougherty, and bassist King Mike whip up a giddy punk rock frenzy...It's just a fun, fun record."--SPIN

"It’s a reminder that to see the band in action is just as gratifying as a listen to any of the albums, and Singles will quickly join that roster. Love or leave New Jersey, but lucky for you, Screaming Females is sticking around."--Death and Taxes

"Few descriptions of the band get beyond a slack-jawed amazement that diminutive woman Marissa Paternoster shreds, and sings in a titanic voice that dips between full-throated shouts and a Grace Slick-like vibrato. Even fewer, though, note the absolute weirdness of the band’s songwriting, a mélange of influences and styles on display in this singles compilation."--Dusted

"Singles is a tasty morsel of a feisty young talent."--PopMatters
