Review: Terrible Feelings - Backwoods

"Terrible Feelings from Malmö, Sweden have existed since fall 2009. They sprung out of late parties, punk rock, pop, and friendship. The band has to date released three 7”s and one full length album. They’ve embarked on no less than five full European tours and two US tours (one on each coast).  They’ve shared stages with bands such as Jeff the Brotherhood, White Lung, Imperial State Electric,  Fucked Up, The Raveonettes, and The Babies; and were handpicked by none other than Refused as support in both Europe and Sweden on their final tour.
Musically Terrible Feelings has been described as proto punk, dark power pop and gloomy surf, with a tint of both country and 70s hard rock. All descriptions are correct. It’s rock 'n' roll." - Guy with a Cool Radio Voice

There's just something about female fronted bands that just captures you possibly referring back to my MASSENGER review from a few months ago, however one thing I would like to note is I really like to look into the lyrics female singer's write because to me all lyrics tell a story. And like all stories there are origins, inspirations, feelings, and thousands of things that go on when one puts all of this into words and must sing these songs to the fullest and hearts content delivering this powerful impression on the listener(s) in both on the turntable at home and in a room full of 100's of sweaty young adults.

For those looking for some jams reminiscent of 80's esque bands with songs about adult promiscuity akakakaka young love and the ultra powerful feelings that emerge from such bonds listen to Terrible Feelings.
