"I love the rock, as much as you do, go where the girl bands won’t play, I love the roll, as much as you do, go where the girl bands don’t play, I’d love to forget you, I’d love to forget places and scenes like this exist…"

Emotional upheaval did Delta Dart good on their first full length cd entitled Fight or Flight. Their feminist folk rock has a versatile edge about it, whether they’re screaming for their hearts at full throttle or contemplating emotional insanity at a lower volume. The lyrics are blunt and punchy, regardless of the backdrop they sit on: electric guitar, bass and drums or the acoustic guitar on its’ own.

Sissy Chromes poignant "bits and pieces" vocals in contrast to Amber Wave’s soprano-like trains of though is a treat and the two bend harmony and lyrics at their will, Amber projecting
things eloquently and Sissy spitting out no-holds barred takes on the situation at hand, the vocal interplay keeping the ears on their proverbial toes. Erin covers the instrumental end of the band playing electric guitars, bass, drums and acoustic guitar.

Having seen these girls live a year ago, I’m excited and impressed to see just how far these girls went this time, pushing the barricades of what thought provoking emotional music is supposed to sound like and filling our ears with something that’s real.
