Grady plans to play more shows after its performance at The Pocket, including appearances at DC9, Pie Shop and Quarry House Tavern.

The band members said they’re excited for their performance at The Pocket on Thursday, the first show they’ll headline. “ and have these killer harmonies at the end that bring this explosion to the end of the song.” “It’s really fast, it’s really in your face, it’s really punk rock,” he said.

Grady hasn’t released studio recordings yet. “I don’t just have to be ‘good for a girl’ or a novelty.” “It’s my favorite thing to hear people say that because I get to say, ‘You totally can do that,’” Collings said. Many young girls came up to her and said they loved her on the drums and wished they could do that, too. “A lot I was getting was like ‘you are really good for a girl,’ ‘you are a contender here,’ ‘you can hang with the guys.’ I didn’t realize that I was yearning for community with my peers and other women.”Ĭollings’ hope for a female music community showed promise after the Howard Theatre performance. “For a majority of my music career I was really only playing for men,” Collings said. As a person who grew up in a music scene that was predominantly male, Collings and Yaremchuk decided to do something women would love. The “girl powered” aspect of the band comes from the friendship between the two women of the band, according to Collings. “It’s made its way into our music just because it’s kind of what we all grew up being surrounded by.” and the really iconic punk scene there,” Collings said. “There’s also an undeniable influence growing up right outside of D.C. “The band that you would see at their homecoming dance or special episode.”īoth Yaremchuk and Collings said there are enough punk elements in their music that they consider it punk-influenced but not enough to consider it pop punk.
