How I miss the days when female-fronted indie bands littered the lower-echelons of the top 40. In those heady years of the mid-to-late-90s, you couldn’t open a copy of Vox, Melody Maker, Select or NME without stumbling across an interview with a super-hot, female singer with her music-playing wallpaper (aka ‘the band’). Echobelly, Republica, Lush, Salad, Sleeper… there was the good: Skunk Anansie. The very good: Black Box Recorder. The bad: Kenickie (Lauren Laverne, we’ve not forgotten. Or forgiven.) The god awful: Bis. And the god-forsaken: Hole.

In some ways, despite being only 40 minutes long, 'In Loving Memory' is a truly exhausting record. The Aussie trio have packed so many ideas into the cauldron; it is a real surprise that the mix does not simply bubble up into ruin.

Earlier this month, ‘You & I’, the fourth album from New York-based folk-pop duo The Pierces, hurtled into the UK Albums Chart at Number Four, marking the sisters’ first Top 10 release on this side of the pond and a very warm welcome to the start of their current tour. In the four years since the release of their last album, 2007’s ‘Thirteen Tales of Love and Revenge’, sisters Catherine and Allison Pierce, who are originally from Birmingham in Alabama, have been busy working on new music and contemplating their future. Also in that time, the pair teamed up with Coldplay bassist Guy Berryman, who co-produced ‘You & I’ with his production partner Rik Simpson. With a brand-new album out, The Pierces have a busy year ahead with a number of UK shows planned, including dates at Glastonbury, Hop Farm Festival and Summer Sundae Weekender. Stereoboard recently caught up with Catherine Pierce to find out more about the band and their new album.
