Hilken Mancini Band - "Weight"

I've been a huge fan of Hilken Mancini's since I first discovered Fuzzy way back in the 90's. Since then, she's also been in Shepherdess, Andy California, and The Monsieurs, released an album with Chris Colbourn of Buffalo Tom, co-founded Punk Rock Aerobics (which led to her appearance in the video for Green Day's "Here Comes the Shock"), and co-founded Girls Rock Camp Boston. Now, she's back with a new musical project, Hilken Mancini Band.

If you're familiar with any of Mancini's musical work, you're going to love her new single, "Weight." The song is reminiscent of her work from the 90's with Fuzzy, but a little less bubble grunge and more punk. The song is filled with fuzzed out guitars and a harder edge, but still with all of the melody and pop hooks that are a trademark of Mancini's songs. "Weight" is a killer alt-rock song that sounds like it's straight from the 90's, but with just enough of an updated sound to make it modern. We can't wait to hear what Hilken Mancini Band has coming up next!

You can listen to "Weight" below. Hilken Mancini Band's self-titled debut album is due out October 25 on Girlsville Records. For more on Hilken Mancini Band, check out the band on Instagram.
