I can’t get enough of the current wave of female (fronted) rock bands and here’s another one! Seattle’s Thunderpussy formed in 2013 and their single Velvet Noose sounds like a mix of Jefferson Airplane and Pearl Jam to me. That isn’t odd, for Mike McCready is one of Thunderpussy’s biggest fans. He produced the track and even contributed a blistering solo at the end of it.

“Thunderpussy is my favorite new band, and it was an honor to work with them,” McCready told Rolling Stone in a statement. “Velvet Noose is an amazing and catchy rock song that deserves to be heard.” I couldn’t agree more!
