I've been featuring sisters Noemie & Camille Debray on here for quite a while now. Better known as The SoapGirls (https://www.facebook.com/thesoapgirls) they've become something of a regular fixture but I think I'm at the stage where I'm wondering weather or not to pass on the baton to some of the many other magazines and blogs that have picked up on them over the last few years. After all, Just Some Punk Songs is better at introducing you to scrappy new punk bands that you might otherwise miss and The SoapGirls are way beyond that stage now. Plus their music has matured into some of the best alt rock you're likely to hear. Maybe like a mother bird throwing her chicks out of the nest it's time to let the SoapGirls fly...
But then again, great music deserves to be heard and whenever I play a new song by the band on my show, the grizzled old punks in the chatroom still seem as enthusiastic as ever so here they are again today, back with a choice cut from an impressive 4th album titled In My Skin.
They're promoting the album with a lengthy world tour in which they'll be wowing fans in the UK, US, Europe and Japan so catch them live if you can.
As for the album, as mentioned, it's not really punk but it is a great listen. 14 tracks of quite lengthy but never dull modern day rock. The production job is pretty much faultless, the songs will lodge in your brain. Think Courtney Love's Hole at their most commercial. Think pop music performed by rock n roll goddesses. Even better, have a listen : https://open.spotify.com/album/6bHaWPzpx1EQupbwJde2HW?
This is one of my favourite tracks on the album, it's gonna catch your attention from the very first second and it demonstrates perfectly everything I've been trying to convey above. It's called Liar...
The SoapGirls have their own unique sound that really can't be compared to any music out there. There is nobody like them. The SoapGirls are Majical and extraordinary beings.
