We’ve been rocking out to Death Valley Girls since they first grabbed our attention in 2013, which of course resulted in a Hot Band Alert feature. We dug them so much, we even booked them at a Grimy Goods Presents show. Their 2014 debut album, Street Venom, rocked our brains out. Two years later, the four […]
