so a lot of people know about orange is the new black
and by extension, know about Maria Ruiz in the show
but i found out that she is a total fucking badass in real life
her real name Jessica Pimentel and she fronts a heavy metal band called Alekhine’s Gun
here’s a description of the band from their website:
“Alekhine’s Gun is an extreme metal outfit from Brooklyn, . Combining insightful lyrics with poignant vocal delivery, raw yettactful riffage, and an underlying groove that stretches beyond the walls of genre, the band has captured the attention of not just the metal community, but the music community as a whole.”
she could kick your ass
she could kick my ass
AND GUESS WHAT? SHE DOESN’T ONLY DO VOCALS
SHE ALSO PLAYS GUITAR AND WRITES A L L OF THE LYRICS
i’m always here and ready for female fronted bands
especially the ones that melt my face off
you can watch a live performance here
and their bandcamp is here
