Under-estimate the girl

Kate Nash has set out to channel the riot-grrrl scene (think Hole or Bikini Kill), but kinda ends up sounding like the tantrums my sister used to throw when we were younger.


Verdict's still out on this one. I love that Nash is making more music, I lover her creativity, I'm just not convinced this is for me.  I am fascinated with the half n half blonde / brunette look she's working though.


"So the other night I was stressin out and we’d just finished rehearsing and I was like ARGHGHHGHGH I need to write a song and release something and do something creative instead of breaking all my stuff that i own." 


Kinda shows.  Under-estimate The Girl is a galloping skip and a massive jump from 2007's Foundations.  If you've kept an eye on what Nash has been up to over the last couple of years this won't come as too much of a surprise. 

"Seems like people have gone bat shit crazy over this. It’s pretty interesting to watch. It’s funny, exciting, kind of thrilling, and sometimes a bit sad... 

I believe it is important to push boundaries, to try new things, and not to re-create. Art and humans alike are supposed to grow and change. Jeez if I was still the same person I was when I was 16 that would be fucking shit! And the same goes for everyone. And if I’m the same person I am now in 6 years that will be shit too... 

It’s funny how a woman is slayed for expressing anger. I must be hysteric. PMSING HARDCORE. trying to be punk. How about I’m just sick of crap uninspired chart music, bullies and sexism. I’ve been hurt and I’m angry and playing bass and shouting about it makes me feel better. That’s all it is. And if that freaks people out then good."

Love her.
