The best thing about the current nu-metal resurgence seems to be that, unlike the first time around, ownership isn’t focused on white men. Some of the best stuff coming out these days that sounds like that era is coming from women of color- I adore The Warning, Pinkshift, and Rico Nasty. But the one act that’s consistently the BEST at combining metal, punk, hip-hop, pop, funk, and whatever else she pleases? Ecca Vandal. And, hot off her heavily talked about set at Dia De Los Deftones and as a warm-up for her performance at Camp Flog Gnaw this weekend, she’s presented us with her strongest track yet. “MOLLY” is a brilliant single that works equally well in the mosh pit and the club.
You can enjoy “MOLLY” in all the usual places, and I’m hoping for a full-length next year. She’s touring Mexico and South America with Limp Bizkit in December, and I’m hoping we finally get a full stateside tour when she makes her Coachella debut next April.
