From our NYC submissions: Claire’s Diary

The secret it out, Claire’s Diary is ripe with juicy stories and naughty fun. With just two tracks to their name, the lovely trio from Claire’s Diary has given us the most fun I’ve had with political feminism in a long time. While the band will be pounding you over the head with their riff-baked stew of crushing riot grrrl grooves, the result is more fun than a pizza party. Smashing guitar riffs not unlike Sleater Kinney or Care Bears on Fire all grown up, coupled with keyboard action lifted straight from the B-52’s, this is how you want to spike your punch. Check out the band’s two releases on their bandcamp.. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
