First, there were the Riot GRRRLs, then there was Girl Power! and now comes\u00a0firstwave Gurrlcore, courtesy of garage-rock duo Gurr. Made up of\u00a0Andreya Casablanca and Laura Lee, who met in an American History class and were less than fond of each other at first, Gurr are the embodiment of everything wonderful about Riot Grrrls, and bring together the craziness of West Coast USA and DIY-culture in Berlin to create a genre-bending sound that’s as bold and as witty\u00a0as they are. Making garage rock tunes with psychedelic and wave elements, their lyrics\u00a0are full of inside jokes and debauched tales of their adventures, and create worlds of characters, stories and feelings that everyone can relate to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gurr’s debut album “In My Head” embodies the spirit of DIY, Berlin-based girl power. A little bit Kathleen Hanna, and inspired\u00a0by The Gun Club, Echo & The Bunnymen, The B52s, the Ramones and the Beatles, their Gurrlcore sound is definitely more rock than roll. With a wide and vivid array of pop culture references and personal experience used as catalysts for lyrical mastery, Gurr’s themes go from dealing with your own ignorance in “Moby Dick”, to dealing with love lost through someone else’s perspective in “Yosemite.” Recorded in the hallowed studios of Berlin’s Funkhaus, Gurr’s debut offering “In My Head” is a musical definition of the power of Riot Grrrl culture, revamped and louder than ever for 2016.
