Dree Leer Share ‘You Too’ Video From Upcoming Album ‘Throw Hands’

Formed in Birmingham, AL by Jackie Lo along with friends Mandy Graffeo (bass) and Mikey D (drums), Dree Leer deliver an unhinged, heavy alternative pop sound that pays homage to the familiar sounds of the’ 90s guitar rock behemoths, but also forges its own path by injecting its songs with relevant social commentary and themes of women empowerment. In addition to bringing light to issues felt by women in the 21st century, Dree Leer‘s studio album and live shows work to obliterate the novelty of the “girl in a band” cliche that can plague female-fronted or female-centric acts.

“I can speak my mind and play loud music. I want to be loud and not be quiet about it. It’s important for me to be a woman on stage playing guitar and singing and the music to be loud with lots of crunch and lots of fuzz and all those beautiful things that I’ve loved for so many years. I look out into the audience and I see young girls and I see them excited. I don’t want it to be weird that there’s a girl playing loud music.”

Throw Hands will be released on April 30th via Bettamax Records and can be pre-ordered here
