Our Take
Our Take
Prepare to have your eardrums blown away by the sonic tsunami that is "Black Pearl" by 50 FOOT WAVE. This album is a masterclass in rock 'n' roll intensity, with frontwoman Kristin Hersh unleashing her signature primal screams over blistering guitar riffs that will leave you picking up the pieces of your shattered speakers.
From the opening track "Stargazer" to the closing notes of "Black Pearl," 50 FOOT WAVE doesn't pull any punches. The band's raw energy is palpable, drawing you in and refusing to let go until the last reverberation fades away. It's like being caught in a storm of sound, with Hersh at the eye of the hurricane, delivering lyrics that are as poetic as they are powerful.
The production on "Black Pearl" is top-notch, with each instrument cutting through the mix like a knife. The drums are thunderous, the bass lines are thick and groovy, and the guitars are razor-sharp. It's a sonic assault on the senses that demands to be played at maximum volume.
In a sea of bland, cookie-cutter rock bands, 50 FOOT WAVE stands out like a black pearl in an oyster shell. "Black Pearl" is a triumph of emotion, energy, and pure rock 'n' roll intensity. Don't sleep on this album – it's a gem that deserves to be heard.

About the artist
50 Foot Wave
Emerging from the ashes of seminal indie band Throwing Muses, 50 FOOT WAVE is the brainchild of the incomparable Kristin Hersh. This power trio delivers a sonic assault like no other, with Hersh's raw vocals cutting through the chaos like a knife through butter. Their music is a frenetic mix of punk rock energy, shoegaze atmosphere, and post-punk aggression, all wrapped up in a neat little package that will leave you begging for more. With a sound that can only be described as explosive, 50 FOOT WAVE is not for the faint of heart. Their latest release "Bath White" is a blistering collection of songs that will leave you reeling, with Hersh's uncanny ability to seamlessly blend beauty and brutality on full display. Tracks like "Dog Days" and "Sun Salute" showcase the band's knack for crafting infectious hooks amidst a wall of noise. With a live show that is equal parts cathartic and chaotic, 50 FOOT WAVE is a force to be reckoned with. Hersh's magnetic stage presence combined with the powerhouse rhythm section of drummer Rob Ahlers and bassist Bernard Georges make for a live experience like no other. In a music industry overrun with cookie-cutter pop acts and manufactured personas, 50 FOOT WAVE stands out as a beacon of authenticity and raw talent. If you're looking for music that will shake you to your core and leave you craving more, look no further than the sonic onslaught that is 50 FOOT WAVE.
