On their expansive and exciting new cover of PJ Harvey’s ‘Sheela-Na-Gig’, rising San Diego all girl punk band Doll Riot channel the attitude and dynamism that made the artist such a trailblazer in the first place, paying homage to one of the most iconic artists of modern times while continuing to demonstrate their own appeal and charm in the process.

The band’s punky flair and personality shines throughout the track, with the cover giving them the perfect chance to dig into its fun vocals and the crashing nature of its emphatic instrumentation. While so much can be said about the lyrics and their themes of male demands and weird statues and carvings, the emphasis here is on power fierce and powerful Doll Riot sound when taking on the track themselves, more than happy to step into such a goliath of a track and make it their own.
