First pressing limited to 1500 copies worldwide on satan's fingerprint splatter vinyl. With a name like Death Valley, one would assume early cartographers were actively deterring people from its boundaries. Its now recognized as an ecosystem with its own unique beauty and wonder, though its not without its element of danger. That landscape is a tting reference for LAs blazing rock troupe Death Valley Girls, whose particular blend of garage punk, proto-metal, and communal music drapes an air of occult mystery and white-hot energy over an underlying celebration of life and vitality. Their 2020 album Under the Spell of Joy was the clearest distillation of the bands ongoing missioncreating a sound that was both riotous and transcendental, brimming with positivity even as it navigated dark melodies and rowdy riffs. That said, Death Valley Girls felt fully realized the moment they appeared on the scene and never lost track of their initial daredevil energy. Their debut album, 2014s Street Venom, was given only a modest roll-out consisting of a small run of cassettes, but the songs were so infectious that they continue to be staples in the bands live set. For the rst time, Street Venom is receiving its proper due with a Deluxe Edition courtesy of Suicide Squeeze Records. Death Valley Girls began when vocalist/guitarist/organist Bonnie Bloomgarden moved to Los Angeles to get clean from drugs. Figuring that playing music would be a positive distraction, she put her feelers out for potential bandmates and was eventually introduced to Hole drummer Patty Schemel and her guitarist brother Larry. Bassist Rachel Orosco was brought into the fold soon after. We spent a year messing around and jamming cause we all needed to play and have something safe to do that wasnt AA, Bloomgarden says of the bands infancy stage
