Don’t Let Girlpool Pass You by [stream]

Girlpool – Thirteen (Big Star Cover) SoundCloud

Girlpool is on the rise in a massive way. These two young ladies from Los Angeles armed with only a guitar, a bass and their voices have created a signature sound pairing vulnerable minimalism and angsty harmonization. It’s no surprise their cover of Big Star’s “Thirteen” is both endearing and forceful at the same time, perfectly embodying the spirit of the old song with the blaringly girlie harmonies of Girlpool. Bringing a modern meaning to “rock ‘n’ roll is here to stay,” the adolescence-centered lyrics stand out prominently from that signature swirling guitar riff echoing in the background. This iPhone-recorded treat for your ears is available for free on Girlpool’s SoundCloud and gets us even more excited for the official release of their self-titled debut EP out on November 17th through Wichita Recordings.
