official_screamales announced their break-up this week by underlining the rugged determination needed to last nearly two decades as a DIY punk band. “A lot changed around us over those 18 years but at our core we operated pretty much the same throughout,” they wrote.⁠ ⁠ Screamales, as they were lovingly known, prided themselves on a self-sufficient ethos, booking all of their own shows and releasing eight studio albums through the trusted indie label Don Giovanni.⁠ ⁠ They have described themselves as a band who built and celebrated communities; perhaps the best way to do that is to keep the previous generation’s hard-fought principles alive and offer a blueprint for those who follow. Screaming Females’ story may never be committed to the pages of a book, but their time together acts as the perfect guide for how to keep your integrity while never missing the opportunity to hit a sick guitar solo.⁠ ⁠ Read our tribute to the band at the link in bio.⁠ ⁠ ✍️ ddavidrenshaw⁠ 📸 Krista Schluete...
