About Screaming Females
Screaming Females were Marissa Paternoster on guitar and vocals, King Mike on bass and Jarrett Dougherty on drums. The band released most of its records through Don Giovanni Records and toured relentlessly from its early basement days onward.
The songs were short and loud, with garage-rock riffs giving way to long, knotted solos. Ugly, recorded with Steve Albini, gave the band a heavier, rawer sound, and later albums such as Rose Mountain and All at Once tightened the songwriting. Screaming Females released Desire Pathway in 2023 and broke up later that year.
