Lord Friday the 13th is a sibling duo based in Austin whose music plays on the border between punk and glam. Their songs are fast-paced and raw, with the kind of energy that is evocative of a certain era when punk idioms had not been fully established. Sloane Lenz sets the tone with her dirty, fuzzy guitars, as she is accompanied by a rotating roster of solid drummer and bass players that enhance the sense of highly structured mayhem that is intended to bounce around but not go completely loose. Felix has a bright and smooth voice that is very much at in line with the sound the band is going for.
The Cramps, New York Dolls, Ramones, Prettiest Eyes
Lots of Ramones and The Cramps with no more than a pinch of Stooges.
