Band name:
SIRENA VICTIMA
Date & location formed:
December 2014, San Francisco
Reason for forming:
Our three separate bands played at elbo room on the night the Giants won the 2014 World Series and we all saw how awesome the other was. We hung out and realized we could all be in one band together.

How would you describe your sound?
San Francisco fog rock with a little grage pop.
What’s in the future for this band?
We just finished recording our second album and can’t wait to put it out on tape, it is going to sound really good.
Date & location formed:
December 2014 / Calgary, AB
Reason for forming:
We were all really inspired by various girl groups, ranging from the 60s to now and wanted to do something of our own. It’s really been about creating our own opportunities to have fun, say what we want to say, and support each other to make the music we like.
What are your lyrics about?
Eating chips, romance, misogyny, going to the beach, being lazy, hating the music your boyfriend likes, breking all your teeth.
How would you describe your sound?
We have a lot of different influences, but when we get together, what comes out is something between pop, punk, and power pop.

We’re releasing a music video and album this spring (2016), playing shows and house parties, and probably a mini tour this summer.

Born on the edge of a lightening bolt in the Bay Area Babylon tech reign era.

Magic Lord and The Bovver Boys exists. War on the terraces of Mission Park (dropbox stomp).
What are your lyrics about?
Sinead O’Connor, The Proto-Working class // from slavery to empire.
How would you describe your sound?
Kind of a cross between Soul Train and the Old Testament. JK. Actually, musically – like ANDREW WK meets STARS AND STRIPES.
What’s in the future for this band?
Lifting weights, eating protein, and hot tubs w/ cigars… i.e. the struggle.
