Punk-Blues Duo – Mr Airplane Man

Bei diesen hübschen Girls handelt es sich um Margaret Garrett (guitar/vocals) and Tara McManus (drums/vocals/keyboards) und die machen so richtig hypnotischen Punk-Blues. Rohe Slide-Guitar, minimal eingesetzt aber dafür präzis schludrig, so richtig Rock’n’Roll, aber hört selbst:

Jack White zu covern, dass muss man sich erst getrauen. Aber irgendwie dunkler, mit etwas mehr Underground, gefällt.

Kritik in den Medien

‘Bostonians Margaret Garrett and Tara McManus are deeply sensitive to the inborn ache of the blues. But Garrett's guitar is the real salvation. It cuts and swings and explodes, crying.' Ben Sisario, Rolling Stone

‘The two young women were playing white-hot, punk-inflected, juke joint blues as if they meant it, and they were doing it with nothing but a guitar and drums, wrenching every bit of soul and sound from their instruments.' Susan Carpenter, Los Angeles Times

‘Every riff, scream, moan, chord stab, solo, tribal groove, and rave-up is that real, and Garrett delivers thrilling and impassioned performances.' Michael Molenda, Guitar Player

‘The duo manages to make the now-familiar line-up of guitar and drums sound urgent again, and they spit out both gritty, saturated blue-rock and airy, almost Spectoresque pop with a quiet strength.' Time Out New York
