NYC trio (vocals, guitar, drums). Karen O is noted for high-energy, charismatic performances. Sound spans garage revival, art-punk and dance-leaning indie; from the raw Fever to Tell to the more intimate Show Your Bones and the sleek It’s Blitz!.

Eight DeBaser reviews sketch a band toggling between garage-punk bite and moody introspection. Karen O’s presence dominates, from feral yelps to haunted croons.
