I love this British band, Joanna Gruesome.

I like Cardiff-based Joanna Gruesome a lot. Their debut album, Weird Sister, is great. Here’s a cover of Galaxie 500’s “Tugboat,” the flip of their single, “Sugarcrush.”

The group comes from Cardiff, England. The five members are Alanna McArdle on vocals, Owen on guitar, Max on bass, George on guitar and Dave on drums. I haven’t been able to track down the guys’ last names.

Here’s a slow one called “Satan”:
