Album Notes

I know what you’re thinking. Female musician: some timid little thing singing her pretty, melodic folk songs, strumming her acoustic guitar in a coffee shop. No, wrong. Take that girl and load her up on caffeine. Grow her up on Joan Jett and Letters to Cleo; Hole and Green Day; Led Zeppelin and Heart. Now piss her off: take that acoustic guitar and smash it. Tell her girls can’t play, let alone rock. Push her right up to the edge. Now hand her an electric guitar, crank up the volume, and surround her with a band of the same.

That’s Baltimore-based Odd Girl Out: 5 girls, 60% power-pop, 30% bubblegum-punk, 10% melodic rock, and 100% tired of playing by your rules since 2004. OGO is Tawni on lead vocals, Bethany Petr on drums and vocals, Eva Blackmer on bass guitar and vocals, Kristen Brzowsky on lead guitar and vocals, and Selena Benally on guitar and vocals.
