SOUNDCHECK: Semi Precious Weapons4
Posted by - In Music, SOUNDCHECK
Brooklyn natives Semi Precious Weapons is giving the rock genre a run for its money. Bringing back that little flavor all of us kids from the 80s miss, Glam Rock is finally making a comeback. Consisting of lead singer Justin Tranter, bassist Cole Whittle, guitarist Steve Pyne, and drummer Dan Crean, these New Yorkers is giving people a little taste of something incredibly delicious. Almost makes me want to buy a glittery one piece and some stilletos.
It was seriously a case of being at the right place at the right time. I was doing my usual once-a-week thing with my friend, which was hitting up Jack Rabbits to see new talent, and on that day of all days we were walking into an amazing show. Hell on Heels tour had just came through town and boy, was that something. I probably danced my little butt off at their concert, shaking my hips to songs like “Semi Precious Weapons” who’s lyrics state, ” I can’t pay my rent, but I’m fucking gorgeous”. How perfect of a line is that?
This band is also getting great promotion. Kate Moss came to one of their shows in the UK, singer Justin was actually featured in an episode of MADE on MTV to help a girl become the bassist of her own band, and on top of that, he has a high end jewelry line called “Fetty” that’s sold in Barneys COOPs and Barneys NY. Talk about entrepreneur.
I’ve listened to their CD and I’m telling you, if you want to hear some music that’s been missing in your life, here is the time. Their music will have you bouncing down the street thinking you are the sexiest and most confident person to ever live. Don’t know why, but it does. I’ve seen results. For some reason, they put an extra hop in your step and a little kiss to your ego. They are truly “Magnetic, Baby”. Semi Precious Weapons will be a band you just CAN’T take off your playlist.
This month, you will definitely familiarize yourself with the phrase “Rock Out”. Check out their video “Magnetic, Baby” below!
