Todays’s song is “Heavy Metal” by The New Tarot. The Brooklyn, NY based band is fronted by the spooky and sweet Walker sisters Monika (vocals/guitar) and Karen (vocals/keyboard).
After a few languid years studying robots and classical music composition, respectively, the two officially joined forces in the spring of 2014. “The New Tarot” (or just “TNT”) seemed to form itself around the siblings, and their dreams to combine Machines, Magick and Music began to grow with them. Soon enough, they had convinced three amazing musicians to join their cause; Chas Langston (celebrated British drummer), Beth Callen (coolest-ever lead guitarist, who doubles as Slash in Guns n’Roses Cover band) and Dave Kahn (bassist whose own prog-rock band “Wahrus” is making waves themselves).
Together, the band creates and experiments with human and universal archetypes through their music. Their stories are filled with equal parts chaos and harmony, loss and love, satire and empathy.
The band is gearing up to release their debut full length album. This will be a follow up to their current EP God of Science which premiered on Consequence of Sound this past summer.
TNT rock with their swinging guitars and hazy sounds. This is only surpassed by the sexy and salacious vocals of the Walker sisters.
Listen below and for more information check out their official website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter pages. Check out the band live this Friday, December 30th at (le) Poisson Rouge in New York City with Eskimo Wave and AJ Smith. Get details here!
