I guess the name is pretty predictive in this case. Pistol Bitch are Richmond hardcore, with an emphasis on the hard. Songs of cop hatred, self-hatred, all the good things in life. I get the feeling I just absorb RVA demos, because I honestly can't remember where I got this, even though it's pretty new. But it's reasonably good, displaying solid songwriting, with a mysterious hint of southern rock. Sound quality isn't all that great; it has almost no production and the vocals have a ridiculous level of reverb. But it's still definitely worth listening to. The demo originally had four songs, but I found a version of "Going Nowhere Fast" from the same session. Plus every demo had a unique 90's hit on it; mine was "Even Flow" by Pearl Jam, and I decided to keep it on just to keep in spirit. Check it out, and I'll add the newer demo soon.

Pistol Bitch is a relatively new hardcore band from Richmond, with members of
Swamp Thing and
Army of Fun. As was related to me, the story behind the name Pistol Bitch was that one of the band members' dads one day inexplicably said, "Pistol Bitch! That would be a good name for a punk rock band!" and as the band was just getting started, they went with it. Anyway, it's good shit, get into it.
