Release Info/credits
Joan of Arkansas is a power pop band that didn’t forget about the “power” part, based out of Phoenix AZ. They call themselves “Record Collector Rawk” fusing influences from Punk Rock, Church Basement 90’s emo, 70’s power pop, Stoner Metal, and all the rad stuff from SST, Matador, Sub Pop, Amphetamine Reptile, Merge, Swami, Drag City, Touch and Go, and Kill Rock Stars over the years. Loud Guitars, Manic Drums, Gang vocals, Melting Fuzz Pedals, and Amps that catch on fire (that has actually happened twice).
Ahead of their first full-length album “Imperfectionists” (on on July 1st), they’ve released a new single , “Final Girl Semifinalist”. A buzzsaw of a song, full of rawness, high energy, and standout vocals.
“”Final Girl Semi Finalist” started as a writing exercise on that weird pervasive feeling that most of us have in this era: “What if I’m not the star of the show, but an extra in someone else’s movie?” Once you start diving down that rabbit hole of thought, more questions get brought up: Where the hell is the script?, What happened to all those characters who once felt so important but now you can’t quite remember?, Has anyone heard from the Producer? It gets pretty Camus pretty damn quick. That leads to the next question: What if you are actually in a horror movie that just hasn’t introduced the monster yet? If you are, then we all know what happens to 95 percent of the featured cast in those kind of flicks. Not everyone gets to be Neve Campbell, and we have the sneaking suspicion that we are a band full of Rose McGowans.”
– Joan of Arkansas
This single is not for the faint of heart, but it deserves to be turned up as loud as possible. Give it a listen, and stay tuned for more when the album drops this summer!
