Girlpool is a Los Angeles based two piece made up of Cleo Tucker (Guitar) and Harmony Tividad (Bass). Having met at local DIY venue the Smell, the two quickly grew very close. Their sound is raw, comprised only of a guitar, bass and vocal harmonies. The band uses this stripped-down instrumentation to accentuate their vulnerable yet powerful lyrics to create honest pieces, tackling concepts ranging from awareness and respect to the simple of feeling of being alone at a show.
They have recently premiered Girlpool: Things Are OK, a 25 minute film that documents the band’s first east coast tour, which includes performances of unreleased songs at the now defunct Death By Audio and Glasslands. The documentary, which the director, Corey McConnell is calling “a portrait of a band at a unique moment in time, discussing their friendship and creative process”, captures the raw energy and intimacy that makes the band’s live show so powerful.
