Based in the verdant jewel of Vancouver, The Feminists are a 21st century rock band. Their distinctive sound is comprised of boy/girl vocal harmonies, fretless bass, the trebly bite of a Rickenbacker, the thick mellowness of piano, organ, and rhodes, a drummer who insists the drums are a melodic instrument, and a few psychedelic synthesizer swooshes thrown in for good measure. Riding the arcing ebbing flowing waves of sheer rock power are the most beautiful, sad, mysterious lyrics; the prettiest melodies you’ve ever heard.
This is the band you get when a strong rhythm section meets a great songwriter. Although each member of the rhythm section is an accomplished musician, (Ferdy Belland - bass, Mike Zobac - drums, Allyson Mara - keyboards/vocals) it is when they blend together as a unit to support songwriter Keith Grief (vocals/guitar) that their skills truly become evident. The chemistry that is created when the four of them are playing together is irresistable, their secret weapon that convinces most audiences they are the best band of the night. Certainly they are the band everyone is talking about afterwards, the band everyone wants to hear “one more” from at most of the shows they play.
Just because they’re sensitive and have nice melodies doesn’t mean they can’t rock. This band likes to play loud. They like to walk right out the very edge of what is bearable and at the moment you think they can’t take it any higher or louder, they instantly replace the storm with utter calm.You don’t see that very often these days, a band that is truly exciting to watch, can really play their instruments, and are blessed with good catchy songs. The melodies and lyrics draw you in and anchor the ear. The musicianship and arrangements are what keeps you there.

For the past few years, The Feminists have toiled diligently in the trenches of indie rock. They have played hundreds of shows with some pretty cool bands (NoMeansNo, The Weakerthans, Tricky Woo, Marianas Trench, You Say Party We Say Die, Immaculate Machine, Junction, Wax Mannequin). They have completed three national tours and three albums. Their songs have charted on radio stations from Victoria to Halifax. They have received considerable national airplay, had their songs placed in movies, appeared on TV (iU.S.) and in film (U.K.), and have received enthusiastic reviews of their records and live performances from music writers across Canada.
The Feminists recently completed their third full length album. Their efforts are now pointed towards the release of “Can’t Scream Loud Enough”, scheduled for February 2008. The album has already garnered rave reviews and received national radio play.
