Finding an all girl band is hard as it is. Finding a great all girl band...forget about it. When I heard the music of this trio for the first time, I couldn't believe my ears. There is nothing more satisfying than the vocals and guitar riffs of Nina Diaz, basslines of Jenn Alva, and drum licks of Phanie Diaz. This is Girl in a Coma. Under Blackheart Records, they rise beautifully above the rest. And are quite amazing live might I add. Their music is the kind of music you can put on in the car and just coast for miles. It's also the kind of music that will get stuck in your head for days because it's just that great. I honestly don't think I will ever get tired of listening to their last album Both Before I'm Gone on repeat. But for now, I'm happy to say yes, they are back again with another amazing album and in due time I will have a new favorite cd (You know, those round plastic things of the past that hold a limited amount of songs) to pop in by the end of this month. This new cd is not to disappoint. It brings the same energy and passion Both Before I'm Gone brought if not more. The album drops June 2, 2009.
How's it going? What are you up to right now?
We have a new record coming out!! So we've been busy prepping for that. Practicing our live show and gearing up for the road.
So tell us a little about the title of the new cd.
It's called Trio B.C. and it was recorded in Tornillo Texas at Sonic Ranch. A cool place outside or El Paso. We named the record Trio B.C. after our grandfathers band in the 50s. We started writing it during our tour for our last record Both Before I'm Gone. We brought back Gabe Gonzales to produce and also worked with Greg Collins.. who has also recorded with U2 and Gwen Stefani. Joan Jett and Kenny Laguna also produced two tracks.. Vino and Joanie In The City. Joan also sings on Joanie In The City.
How does this record compare to Both Before I'm Gone?
There really is no comparison. We did work with Gabe again but we did alot more experimenting on this record and played alot of different insturments. Jenn came up with key parts and Nina is also playing keys. Jenn also shot a Winchester gun in Slaughter Lane. We took a whole different approach to this record and were alot more open minded about trying new stuff out . We are really excited to get this album out.
Which song have you written so far means the most to you as a band? Is there a particular lyric that you have written that really touches home?
I think Trail for us right now has alot of meaning behind it. Every lyric in that song has a deep meaning to each of us.
What was your biggest challenge in making this record?
The time we had to make it. We knew we wanted it out at a certain time so we had to get it done quickly but make sure we were also doing this right to make it a good album.
What are you looking forward to most this summer?
Touring!!
Any last words or messages to your fans?
Keep supporting live music and thank you all for coming to our shows. We can't wait to share this record with you. See you on the road!
