The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Spent the last couple of days listening to her. As Jorge mentioned, I feel like some of the music is pretty terrible in spots. That fucking ridiculous guitar solo in Desire basically ruins the song. And the music on After You is straight out of Radio Disney. Still, Monster is a great song and Curbstomp, Adelaide and Poison are very good.
I can totally dig what she's doing. I've only listened to the clips on the first page. But I really liked Desire and I goddamn LOVE Monster. Yeah, I think I'll be keeping tabs.

I heard Monster on Cinemax's "Banshee", loved it, and bought her two EPs off iTunes... and while I like them both, I think you nailed it but it's probably more a function of her not being able to afford an A+ producer than the compositions being bad. We all know what the wrong producer can do to a band...
Still exploring and diving in. But here's my first ranking of her songs that I've heard. I'm sure I'll do this a lot over the next year or so. But here's where we're at right now:
Heart Heart Head The Morning After Go Monster Desire Feather Lemon Eyes Adelaide Make a Shadow Sorry Curbstomp Tennessee Parade I Really Want You to Hate Me Motel Poison After You A Bolt From the Blue
I wasn't over the moon for the first couple of singles from the new record. But now that I've had a chance to spin the whole thing several times... I really dig it. It's a grower, for sure. I'm totally into TMttD now. Solid record. This chick can wail.
