The Dreaded Laramie Princess Feedback LP (Baby Pink & White Smash Vinyl)

Princess Feedback follows on the heels of The Dreaded Laramie's 2019 self-titled debut EP and the 2022 EP Everything a Girl Could Ask. While the trademark infectious hooks of those releases are as present as always, this full-length outing finds them writ larger and more ambitious than ever.

Perhaps it's the result of the previously scattered members all now coalescing in Nashville, Tennessee, or maybe it's the 60+ dates spent on the road over the last year, either way, the band have never sounded as boldly realized as they do on Princess Feedback. After years of dropping singles and EPs that showed tightly packed sonic hints of what was to come, The Dreaded Laramie are now ready to show you their whole world; from audacious melodies, to unvarnished vulnerability, from artful craft, to unbridled energy.

In the words of bassist Drew Swisher, "I think it sounds like a confetti cannon blast of repressed emotion. And I want people to feel like they have rockets on their Heelys, blasting them forward when they listen to it."

The Dreaded Laramie subvert expectations without being in your face about it, and Princess Feedback is an album crafted firmly in that spirit. The album was produced, mixed, and engineered by Grammy winner Dave Schiffman (PUP, The Bronx, Thrice, Bayside), who managed to capture the band at its very best, maintaining the live energy that makes them an instant hit with crowds of all sizes.

Nashville's premier fuzz-pop femmecore band, combining tender femininity and macho rock 'n' roll tropes. The group's music is littered with floaty vocal hooks and harmonies, dueling guitars, and power-stances made audible. The Dreaded Laramie recognizes chunky power chords and overdrive pedals as the masks vulnerability uses in order to laugh when it looks in the mirror, lest it weep.
