SO I HAD TO SHOOT HIM - "ALPHA MALES & POPULAR GIRLS"

On their debut full length Alpha Males & Popular Girls, SOIHADTOSHOOTHIM complete their metamorphosis from purveyors of mid-90's art-damaged powerviolence to modern blastpop visionaries. These ten songs marry monstrous metallic riffing and surreal, swirling pop seizures to cyclones of gasoline-soaked noise skronk and arena-sized rock blowouts that are fronted with sass and ferocity courtesy of frontwoman Libby Schaub. Alpha Males is a boldly imaginative debut, chock full of infectious hooks and crazed heaviness that summons crazed grindcore, girl-fronted indie pop, pulverizing metalcore, dance punk, gleaming melodic shoegazer bliss, and mutant stadium-rock anthems ... all in the same breath.
