Trap Girl - "Death Dress"

According to their bio, Death Dress is a mix of hardcore punk and riot grrrl, and while that's true, their latest single is so much more. "Death Dress" starts out as a lighter, fairly fun punk-ish song. It's the kind of song you'd expect from a band fronted by Drew Arriola-Sands, who is described as "beehive hair, short dress and high heel-donned frontwoman." And then the hardcore kicks in, and "Death Dress" takes an unexpected turn. The song goes from more of a retro fun sound into just pure rage. Even when the song transitions back to its original sound, there is a stronger sense of anger than there was at first. Trap Girl capture this amazing mixture of fun and rage, and we're here for it.

You can listen to "Death Dress" below. The Savage Goddess is due out September 27, and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on Trap Girl, check out the band on Instagram and Facebook.
