Top label Dirt Cult Records comes up trumps again...
High School were a San Francisco band that were active from 2005-2007 who lined up with Courtney Kimball (vocals), Lauren Shapiro (rhythm guitar/backing vocals), David Scharf (lead guitar), Jenny Angelillo (bass) and Ethan Shapiro (drums). I'm afraid I don't remember them though I'm a big fan of both Neighborhood Brats who Jenny Angelillo went on to front and Rough Kids who feature Ethan Shapiro.
It's a great shame I missed the band first time originally as they've just released a new album and it's fantastic. This time around we get a line up of Courtney Kimball (vocals), Kevin Preston (lead guitar), Roger Biersborn (bass), Luis Herrera (drums) and Ethan Shapiro (rhythm guitars). There's also Lauren Shapiro, Jayna Swartzman and Laura Rigby on backup vocals.
The album is titled Freshman 15 (it refers to an amount of weight gained during a student's first year at college). We get re recorded favourites, new material and a couple of covers (MC5, Cocksparrer). We also get some of the coolest punk n roll music you'll hear this year. Best of all, you can snap it up as a name your price download here : https://dirtcultrecords.bandcamp.com/album/freshman-15
This track is about a girl with the face of an angel but a heart of stone. It's called She's So Mean...
