Finest Dearest
Listening to San Francisco’s Finest Dearest is like taking a trip back in time–not so far back that it’s obvious that you’re in the past, but far enough to give you a real sense of deja vu.
They remind me a little of Shonen Knife without the histrionics, and a little of Throwing Muses, in mood if not sound (although there’s definitely a touch Tanya Donnelly/Kristen Hersh in the mix). Bloodtown Records is set to release what I believe is their first full-length (the only other mention of releases in their material is an EP) on the street April 8th, with a digital release a few weeks before. Finest Dearest is Carly Schneider (vocals), Christine Bolghand (guitar), Josh Luke (guitar), Steve Treffors (drums), and AJ Dickerson (bass).
