DF Concerts Presents: JOOLS

“These violent delights have violent ends,” sings co-vocalist Kate Price on both the album opener ‘The Pleasures’ and its climactic, curtain-dropping title track. “And violently you’ll see, nobody decides it’s over for me, but me.” It’s an echo that bookends Violent Delights by deliberate, poignant design.

DF Concerts Presents: The Sophs

When Ramon sent a demo reel out to his favorite indies, he wasn’t expecting any replies.

But Travis and Lee were in his inbox the next day, asking if he’d hop on a call. Rough Trade heard the sort of creativity and variety — and “don’t expect me to act pretty” sentiment — that could get The Sophs — including Ramon, Sam Yuh (keyboards), Austin Parker Jones (electric guitar), Seth Smades (acoustic guitar), Devin Russ (drums), and Cole Bobbitt (bass) — a slot on nearly any stage.

Wearing their influences on their sleeves, it’s gloriously clear they draw faithfully from the authentic stylings of Nasty 50’s Rockabilly, gritty 60’s Garage and trashy 70’s Punk Rock.
