Earlier this year during South by Southwest one thing to note were the many rock bands around female singer/songwriters making a big splash. While I unfortunately missed [Speedy Ortiz](https://www.facebook.com/speedyortiz), I saw bands like [Torres](http://torrestorrestorres.com/?ref=glamglare.com), [Bully](http://www.bullythemusic.com/?ref=glamglare.com) and [Wolf Alice](http://wolfalice.co.uk/?ref=glamglare.com), who rock a similar vibe. I like it when poetry is no longer confined to acoustic guitars and pianos, but is accompanied with a full set of electric guitars, drums and keyboards. For me, music comes first and the lyrics second anyway.

Then again, **Sadie Depuis** of Speedy Ortiz writes great lyrics. Lines like “I was the best at being second place / But now I’m just the runner-up / At being the second one you think of every day / Before you go back to one” in *The Graduates* just immediately stick. The band accompanies this with screeching guitar melodies, which remind me of The Pixies, *Bossanova* era, when I had a brief musical love affair with them. My favorite song on *Foil Deer* would be *Puffer*, one of the more sinister tracks, with an ominous bass line.

I saw Speedy Ortiz live last year at the 4 Knots Festival in Downtown Manhattan and they were massive and loud. Their next New York show is at Terminal 5, which is too big for our taste, even for a perfect bill together with [Courtney Barnett](https://www.facebook.com/courtneybarnettmusic?fref=ts) and [Torres](https://www.facebook.com/TORRESMUSICOFFICIAL?fref=ts).

*Foil Deer* ([Spotify](http://open.spotify.com/album/1HIJD84nu66Dk9wykAPhNB?ref=glamglare.com), [iTunes](https://itun.es/us/EtLE5?ref=glamglare.com)) is out now on [Carpark Records](http://store.carparkrecords.com/products/543382-cak103-speedy-ortiz-foil-deer?ref=glamglare.com).
