Le Butcherettes
What's the matter with kids these days? Not content with just making an ungodly noise, they also model themselves on Sylvia Plath, formulating ideas
of female identity that are equal parts fun and bloodthirsty. We're not talking about NYC (where shadows of Lydia Lunch and Patti Smith still
linger), but the back roads of Guadalajara, Mexico, where Teri Gender Bender conceived Le Butcherettes. She's played with just about every Mexican band
worth mentioning, while Jack White's The Dead Weather and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs invited her to open their Mexican shows, and Omar Lopez Rodriguez of
The Mars Volta agreed to produce the first album

The Black Belles
Discovered by Jack White and brought to Third Man Studios for their first recordings, “What Can I Do” and “Lies” are the band’s inaugural release and showcase their unique ability to pay homage to their roots while also pushing their music into new territories. There’s a lot of anticipation around this release and it definitely delivers. The Black Belles recently the Third Man Records Blue Series 7", 'Charelene II (I'm Over You)', with Stephen Colbert
Break It Up
Break It Up is drummer Casey Bell, and guitarists Jen Sperling and Dan Morse.
Break It Up has been through several mutations in the last year, but recently cemented as a 3-piece. Rooted in a post-riot grrrl ethic, the tension between their 90s rock upbringing and modern pop impulses drives their debut single, “Excavate,” which has been described as an “inspiring slice of strident independence and anthemic power-pop goodness.” Other influences range from the experimentation of Patti Smith, to the endearing hooks and fuzz of the Breeders, to the garages and basements where they first saw their favorite bands play. And while Break It Up remains loyal to the sounds that made them fall in love with music in the first place, they push back against the comfort of the familiar, carving out a sound that’s all their own.
