Post War Glamour Girls
Post War Glamour Girls are a four-piece group from the United Kingdom, associated with post-punk, art rock, experimental music, garage rock and indie. They form in late 2010 and begin performing in early 2011, first playing house parties and small venues in Leeds. Their music develops from a DIY local scene and is marked by brooding, noisy arrangements, dry humour and a tendency to build from tension into sudden bursts of volume.
Style and performance
Their songs are described as heavy, dry-witted pieces that move from clatter to roar and then collapse into a crowded, chaotic finish. Their live sets are known for strong intensity and a loose, unruly energy. The group is often linked in tone to Tom Waits, Grinderman and the Moon and Antarctica-era Modest Mouse.
Releases and recognition
Post War Glamour Girls release a sold-out 7-inch single, Ode To Harry Dean / Spitting Pearls, followed by the EP Tragic loss; he had such a lovely house. Their first album, PiNK FUR, appears in February 2014. Their growing reputation in Leeds leads to festival recognition, including a slot opening the NME/Radio 1 Stage at Reading and Leeds festivals in 2012.
Place in the Leeds scene
The band builds its profile through repeated live work in Leeds and earns a strong reputation within the city’s music community. Their early activity, local shows and festival appearance establish them as a notable presence in the British independent rock circuit.
