Fender Front Row Blog Feature here!
Indie garage rock/punk trio Ume, led by husband-and-wife duo Eric Larson (bass) and Lauren Langner Larson (guitar/vocals), was one of 16 unsigned bands picked by the editors at Rolling Stone to compete for the cover of the magazine.
RS describes the Austin-based rockers’ sound as such:
“Distortion-heavy jams (and the whole marriage thing) invite comparisons to Sonic Youth, but Ume do more headbanging and wailing.”
Myspoonful.com meanwhile compared them to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Sleater-Kinney, writing that “Front woman Lauren Larson’s maniacal guitar work, blistering chops and arresting charisma give every leading lady from Joan Jett to Karen O a run for their money, while resuscitating an arguably hibernating genre within the indie music circuit: pure rock and roll.”
