Black Girls

Dishing out self-proclaimed “snuff rock” (like the tobacco, not the film), this surf and glam unit of white boys has experienced a meteoric rise since their inception last summer. Bassist Jeff Knight has a simple explanation: “Hard work got us here, and the support from fans.” And like snuff, Black Girls embodies a quick, fun burst of energy, so go see them before they’re banned by the feds or given a warning label.
