Screaming Females are definitely undergroundany mainstream press they get and they have had some
they were on that alexa chung show on mtv and they've been mentioned in Spin and Rolling Stone
but they totally deserve it and its great that mtv plays Screaming Females cause i mean people who do still watch mtv probably expect the hills or something then this underground kick ass band still on an indie label comes on (alexa chung apparently personally got them to play after seeing them open for Dead Weather) and then these people will be like 'wow what is this awesome music i must google search this and find out more' and then thanks to mtv they would be into awesome musicand also the first two Screaming Females albums were self released by the band themselves and the only way to get them were from the band at shows or online or something
and Jarret would set up the tours himself and actually phone up the places asking to play
totally DIY
after Power Move though i think they've hired a tour agent and press agent though because its too much work for them to handle which is understandable cause i don't think people realise like how hard it is cause apparently Jarret when Screaming Females were opening for dead weather was buried in paperwork its not like someone asks you to play you show up and play no its not like thatbut they totally deserve any press they get

thats not exactly underground if theyre getting airtime to promote their latest albumsometimes i do, but i usually only listen to it for hockey games
yeah Green Day are on a major label and want to sell the album you know
its not like they're cashing in on anything or selling out by doing that
its not like johnny rotten who sells butter
did you even read what i said uhuh
Screaming Females even made a blog post about it trying to justify it like
i mean if a bands good enough and been around for a while they're gonna get noticed and Screaming Females ARE good you know personally they should be the biggest band in rock right now
i mean what do you want do you want all rock bands to stay underground and or do you want rock in the mainstream
i mean look at the mindless 'artists' on the charts nowadays its all this horrible generic electro pop
id love for another Nirvana to happen you know
Screaming Females ARE definantly underground though like and they've worked their asses off to get where they are now and they're still only on an indie label and alexa chung personally got them on her show
they still are underground though
just last week they played a basement show
