Sign up to Melissa Brook’s surf punk “Girl Riot”. \n<\/p>\n
There is no denying that the Aquadolls are Southern California bred. You can hear it in their music alone. Drums and guitar riffs bring out surfer vibes that make you feel a wave of sun. Psychedelic surf punk sounds come together with teenage anthems of fun and good times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Front woman Melissa Brooks is the poster child of this all. The long-haired blonde\u2019s crop-tops, colourful sun glasses and short shorts make her seem straight out of a American Apparel ad.- It\u2019s no surprise she\u2019s teamed up for projects with them and Vans. But she is more than just the face of the band.\u00a0 <\/span>She\u2019s studying film and has even edited some of their music videos. She\u2019s also a badass that’s shared the stage with the likes of Kim Gordon, Kathleen Hanna and Kimya Dawson, to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n
Aquadolls’ latest track, “Girl Riot” is out today. Electric guitar rips out until Brooks’ vocals incite a frenzy. The perfect mix between shiny Cali drawl and exasperated grunge growls, inspired by the Runaways “Girl Riot” is pop for angst-filled teens. Sign us up for the Girl Riot army now.<\/p>\n
We sat down with Brooks fresh off the Aquadolls\u2019 first tour to talk feminism, lyric writing and touring.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
