Биография

"I believe art should provoke a reaction." Passionate, principled, and refreshingly plain-spoken, Louisa Roach will not be cowed into silence. As She Drew The Gun, the Wirral-based singer-songwriter has spent the last seven years cementing her reputation as a vital voice in the alternative scene, using punk-infused psych-pop as a vehicle for exposing injustice and for advocating for a fairer and more tolerant society. That message is more potent than ever on Behave Myself, the follow up to The Coral's James Skelly-produced Memories of Another Future, and Revolution of Mind. Written during lockdown, and recorded with Ross Orton (Arctic Monkeys, The Fall, The Kills) at his studio in Sheffield, Behave Myself very much reflects the societal circumstances surrounding its creation, decrying corruption, abuse and the continued divide between rich and poor, all of which have only worsened during the pandemic. Behave Myself represents a giant leap forward for Roach. Drawing on Orton’s expertise with bands like Working Men’s Club, the synth-heavy set encompasses glittering, dystopian disco, Chemical Brothers-inspired electronic-rock, spaced-out dream-pop, and frenetic, electro-flecked punk, and features Roach’s most impactful melodies to date.
