About GIRL ACTIVITY

Press..

"This evening Girl Activity put on a great show that superbly demonstrated the bands originality. No two songs from Girl Activity sounded alike." -- Southside, Fearless Radio

Band Bio

Girl Activity melds the in-your-face, buzz-saw guitar, and driving rhythms of the Foo Fighters sound with the understated, vulnerability of the vocal stylings of Liz Phair and influential indie pop group Belly. The group conveys a relaxed, plug-in-the-amp-and-let's-play attitude. Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Jessie Ambriz heads up an eclectic bunch with roots in soul, R&B, and heavy metal. The very talented Nick Jaffe, also of the group Soul People, plays lead guitar. Alyson Carrel, who was a member of Popcanon, keeps it tight and in the pocket on bass. Nina Talia (formerly of the soul-funk band Thrillhouse Collective) lays down the beats on the drums.

Girl Activity credits its song-writing style to influences such as the Ramones, AC/DC, Black Sabbath, the Muffs, and the alternative rock scene of the '90s.
