Screaming Females new album out 9/14, playing Siren Fest, guest mixtape

If you dig rock music, then you should probably listen to Screaming Females. The band has already finished their third full-length album, Castle Talk, out on Don Giovanni Records on Sept. 14. The release will feature 11 songs. The band's been playing songs from the album at their live shows for the past several months. A YouTube search brings up some of the songs. Simply put, they sound great. If there's one thing this rock 'n roll band maintain, it's groove, and they're darn good at it. 

The band is also performing at this year's always free Siren Music Festival at Coney Island on July 17th alongside Matt & Kim, Ted Leo, Surfer Blood, Cymbals Eat Guitar, Ponytail, and more. 

Finally, the band recently put together a mixtape for a feature on Artist Advocacy featuring Bongwater, Cheeky, Jeff the Brotherhood, None More Black, P.S. Eliot, and many more. Take a listen to hear some songs the band listen to on the road and whenever:
