Screaming Females from New Brunswick, New Jersey are easily one of my favourite live bands. Marissa Paternoster's guitar mastery is brilliant to behold. And that sound! That tone! The raw emotion that flows from her hands to the strings! She is a true guitar hero. Her vocals are as impassioned as the songs the band creates. The rhythm section completes the massive sound and keeps the energy level at their shows absolutely intense.

This show at Toronto's Hard Luck marked the fourth time that I've seen the band perform and for me it was easily the best. This was in no small part due to the fact that they included my favourite song, "Ripe" in the set, and that their new album All At Once is just completely fantastic.

The show also featured local alternative rockers Girlongirl and Radiator Hospital. Click through to see my pics from their sets.

Click the links to check out my photos from previous Screaming Females shows that I've photographed at The Garrison in 2017, The Silver Dollar Room in 2016 and The Garrison in 2015.

I love this band for their intensity, passion, musicianship and virtuosity. I started picking my favourites from this show's setlist, but ended up with the whole thing below. Take the opportunity to experience this amazing band live.

"Empty Head" opened the show


"Fall Asleep"

"Glass House" got the crowd going in full force


"Bird in Space"

"Rose Mountain"


"Step Outside"

"Ripe". My favourite Screamales song.


"Doom 84"

"Soft Domination"

"Deeply"

"Black Moon" was the intense closer for the main set


"It All Means Nothing" was the encore tune
