Introducing The Sounds of the Husbands is the first full-length record from San Francisco all-woman punk band The Husbands. Released in 2003 by Swami Records, the album is a jam from start to finish, packed with short and sweet rock ditties along with a few familiar, tried and true R&B covers.
It’s a great album for putting on when you need a boost of energy, say when you’re rallying for a night out after a long day, or when you’re running late for something and need to pick up your speed a notch.
Here’s The Husbands paying tribute with In The Basement, a song originally performed by Etta James and Sugar Pie DeSanto, two vocal powerhouses:
The Husbands don’t seem to tour anymore, but at least we have their records to rock out to when we need it–and that’s no small thing.
Oh Yeah, New York through and through. I hear the Dolls, The Dictators and The Chesterfield Kings all mixed together. “Trouble” is fantastic too! We gotta get you on 50third soon..
I like girls playing this hot rocknroll but so few can. To be fair, so few boys can either. I can, and these songs are inspiring me to write a song like these two, and to further investigate The Husbands. Thank you, Dacia Rivers. I figure if I say I can play the real thing I had better prove it up front. Bill Stevenson of the Descendents and Black Flag is playing the drums on the following, I played everything else. I haven’t met Milo yet but he said he loved it. We all share a love of the New York Dolls, and I just bet that The Husbands are too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dre3c5fJ7qs
