Molly McGuire has assembled quite an impressive rock 'n' roll resume. She's recorded with Frank Black, Queens of the Stone Age and Peaches. She's toured with Mondo Generator. She's built her chops on bass with bands like earthlings? and Rhudabaga. But with the official debut of her latest endeavor, a trio which she fronts known as The Spores, McGuire (alongside co-conspirators guitarist Greg 'Stunbunny' Biribauer and drummer Kenny Pierce) is finally starting to make things happen completely on her own terms. Front woman McGuire, whose voice compels with an ear-catching grain reminiscent of the Divinyls' Christina Amphlett, has up until now been best known for her work with Queens of the Stone Age spinoff Mondo Generator, but the quirky Spores are less heavy, and more inclined to New Wave references. Think Garbage, Bjork or Blondie.
