Again I'm very late to the party. Here's some Screaming Females, an almost criminally under-rated three piece rock band from New Jersey with a fine lady guitarist on leads and just two beat makers: "King" Mike King on Rickenbacker base (which he punches brilliantly into his tubes) and their drummer Jarrett Dougherty. Their stuff is mainly alt punk with Marissa Paternoster doing lots of the writing. Too, Spin calls her one of the top guitarists of all time. They've been around since 2007 so there's a lot of work and I just cherry picked some pieces annually and moments (mostly live in mostly studios) throughout. They've released 7 albums, 5 with Don Giovanni records and the first two self-published (then re-released). This is a very good band and hopefully they are making good bank despite the very modest viewership on YT. Marissa is seriously bad ass making great heavy rock but so unassuming when interviewing. If you wanna see the progression, start from the bottom up as they are pretty mellow on NPR - but from earlier work and later work, that vibe is an outlier and probably just a result of the unplugged and bare nature of Tiny Desk. Otherwise go back in time from the top and watch the current shred-fests first.
