Today, NOBRO dropped their loud ripping punk rocking EP called Sick Hustle which is out on Dine Alone Records.
Opening the EP with a bang, vocalist Kathryn McCaughey explained:
“Don’t Die is about a past relationship, but with everything going in the world I think it’s found a new meaning.
“I wanted to play this type of music but there wasn’t a lot of women who wanted to play it.
I wanted to be in the most kick-ass all female band ever,” raves Kathryn McCaughey, vocalist and bassist.
Inspired by the likes of Jay Reatard, The Damned and Royal Trux to name a few, NOBRO are unafraid to wear their influences on their sleeve.
With co-writes with members of METZ and Fast Friends under their belts, NOBRO are well on their way to achieving their goal.
They have played everywhere from squats to stadiums, recently opening for Alexisonfire and The Distillers having previously shared the stage with bands like FIDLAR and PUP.
With pounding drums (McCaughey claims drummer Sarah Dion will “go down in history as one of the best drummers in the entire world”), shredding riffs from guitarist Karolane Carbonneau and bongo solos and keyboard licks from master of percussion Lisandre Bourdages all topped with McCaughey’s confident, cocky yell and blistering bass lines – NOBRO are showing they are a rock and roll force to be reckoned with.
They are not ashamed to admit that they have had their fair share of struggle, but they are resilient and tough.
They are aware that they will face skepticism as part of the omnipresent sexism in the scene they inhabit, but that only spurs them on.
“We said we would do it one way, and so we made sure that we were always doing it that way.”
There is one band that is almost similar to them but NOBRO is 10 times better and I won’t name that band.
In my opinion they are one of best new Canadian bands going around.
Sick Hustle gets:
/10.
