JOSEPHINE

**This is a great chic band. Very down to earth girls with deep lyrics and amazing music**

In July of 2008 three beautiful girls and some instruments were united and formed the post punk band known as Josephine. Main vocals and guitar provided by Xtina Rubio, bass plucking done by Leigh Regan, and Tracy Thompkins on the drums. The first click of the play button brings on the raspy voices similar to those of The Donnas, and tunes influenced by Johnny Cash and Pat Benetar. These chics obtain the ability to have rappers rockin' out, especially with Xtina's pulse-like strumming in "Down to the sea." If one finds themselves trying to make sense of some lyrics don't feel bad, Josephines' endowment of true poetic utterance is simply complimented by their acoustic mastery. But "Billy's song" is simple yet so powerful, and is perfect for those down days. There is something for all; from the lyricists and poets to the head bobbers. Support the short but strong EP and definitely keep your ears on the lookout for these girls!
