Religious Girls is an experimental pop band from Oakland, California that originated in 2008. They’ve released several praised EPs and gained a dedicated following with their dynamic live sets (often performing off the stage in the middle of the pit). They haven’t released any music since 2012, and their fans are highly anticipating hearing new music.  The Stranger poetically explain Religious Girls unique sound and its powerful effect on the listener: 

“combining frantic live drums with layered synth textures and expressive howls, the band creates a magical space for my thoughts to wander in public, directed by otherworldly sounds.”

Religious Girls has become a diverse trio of multi-instrumentalists, with each member hailing from separate musical backgrounds that range from metal to noise to math rock and pop. The band's current line-up consists of keyboardist / lead vocalist Christopher Danko, keyboardist / drummer / vocalist Luis Gutierrez and lead drummer / vocalist Nicholas Cowman. Using their influences and talents, Religious Girls focus their energy into creating powerful harmonies and layering them over intricate percussive rhythms. Bay area indie music site The Bay Bridged concisely explains the spectrum of Religious Girls songwriting:

“bursting-at-the-seams compositions to soaring, noisy, melodic, and mathy extremes.”

Collectively, the band has tried to push aside the standards of popular song writing with non-repeating structures, an intricate meth-matical style, and a carefully laid out set in which all songs are interweaved into one. Religious Girls focus on creating intimacy with the crowd, and are known to offer an intense and dramatic set. They feel that no matter how high of quality a recording may be, the live set is what moves people, and viewers leave in awe by the end of their live performances.

"I had always heard about R. Stevie Moore through other musicians. It took me a while to finally dig in. Once I did I was fucking blown away. I wish I would've discovered him earlier so i'd have more time to listen to his entire 400 album catalog. The chord progressions and melodies are so complex but easy to listen to. That's why I wanted to put this compilation together. To spread the R Stevie seed. This guy is no joke. He's definitely worked his way into the Lennon/Wilson category in my book. Hats off to the man himself for naming the album and letting us try to record his music!"
