The Black Belles are currently on tour--for a little while. The band have a bit in common with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs but much rawer, much more punk rock. They have energy, they are fun, they have an intensity that is regrettably absent from many rock bands today.
Of course a rock band full of lovely young ladies always has potential to succeed on some level even if they are not good. But that isn't The Black Belles. They back up their imagery and their schtick with solid rock n roll.
There is a little bit of The Nymphs (remember them?) and maybe a whiff of The Cranes in the band but, as with all good bands, they do put their own stamp on the sound.

The Black Belles self-titled debut was produced by Jack White. The record came out in November, 2011 and the band has toured since. They also appeared on the Steven Colbert show and were praised by Vogue (or so I am told, I don't subscribe to Vogue).
