2010, Strength in Numbers
VINYL FORMAT. Comes with a digital download code! Over the past two years, all-female hardcore band Zombie Dogs has established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the underground punk scene of Brooklyn, NY. Playing hardcore matinees at ABC No Rio, all-day feminist conferences like the Big She-Bang, release parties for the female drummer magazine Tom Tom, and radical DIY feminist spaces such as the Girl Cave in DC and the Ex-Cock/Less Cock House in Philadelphia, Zombie Dogs are known for their commanding, tough, raucous approach to socially-conscious hardcore punk.
Zombie Dogs started in late 2008 as a side project of the now-defunct all-girl feminist hardcore band Carnal Knowledge, when Krista Ciminera and Diane Anastasio decided to switch instruments and write songs with a more lighthearted approach to the strong politics of their current group. When Diane moved across the country to join forces with Maximum Rock-n-Roll Magazine, Krista found herself without a band and looking for something new. Kathi Ko, guitarist of all-girl indie/math rock group Each Other's Mothers wanted to teach herself drums, and Tamara Waite-Santibanez of No Guts No Glory Printing had been itching to sing in a hardcore band. After a couple of bassists, Rachel Rubino (Bridge and Tunnel) completed the lineup, making them a local powerhouse group. Zombie Dogs draw from real-life experience as young women in New York, speaking out about street harassment, bike messengering, living with life-threatening illness, douchebags in the pit, and nerding out about critical theory. Zombie Dogs carve out a space in music for fun, all the while staying true to their strong feminist and radical politics.
