Hailing from the shockingly indie fertile mecca of Minneapolis , Kitten
Forever are a new generation of riot grrrl band. The trio of Liz Elton, Corrie
Harrigan, and Laura Larson trade off instruments throughout and bring their own
blend of punk to a musical style more than two decades in. They are equal parts
the sense of humor of Cake Like, the edge of Bikini Kill, and the groove of
Death From Above 1979. The 13 songs on their latest release, Pressure, are raw in the best way, but
have a sense of melody and songwriting structure almost completely disguised by
the distortion and gang vocals. Be Your Own Pet made me feel old; Kitten
Forever make me feel downright elderly, but I’ll still head out anytime they
venture out to the Boston
area.
