She Made Me Do It
She Made Me Do It, the post-punk electro-rock trio formed by Rachel Stamp members Shaheena Dax and Will Crewdson and featuring Joe Holweger on drums, return with a new three-track EP, Pulverised, their most soul-bearing release to date.

With percussion powerhouse Holweger now established as a fully paid up band member, SMMDI’s sound continues to evolve from its electro-pop beginnings into a harder, more streamlined beast.

Combining high voltage riffs, strident keyboards and smart lyrics, Silver Lining sees singer Dax confront feelings of grief and heartbreak to a backdrop of intense driving punky rhythms.

The Emotional One, with its rousing chorus, catalogues the battle between feeling and thinking in an attempt to navigate difficult relationships in a world that feels ever more chaotic and fractured. “Always so emotional, trying hard not to lose my mind’, sings Dax over Crewdson’s abrasive guitar licks as the song builds to an impassioned climax.

Title track Pulverised is a naggingly insistent song about falling in love on the front line that recalls the urgency of early Psychedelic Furs, starting off at gallop before bursting into a deftly melodic refrain.

With striking artwork by regular SMMDI collaborator Pushing Normal, the EP is complemented by stylish videos for Silver Lining and The Emotional One, both directed by Craig Griffith.
