The first time I saw the name Perfect Pussy I immediately wrote them off as another band trying to garner attention with it's name that wouldn't be able to back it up with it's music. The build up of buzz over the preceding months became too much to ignore so I succumbed to the elephant and gave them a listen and I am happy to admit that I was wrong to pre-judge.
The Syracuse, New York five-piece formed untraditionally two years ago when singer Meridith Graves (Shoppers) was asked to form a fake punk band for a cameo in a low-budget movie called Adult World. After filimg, Graves, along with Ray McAndrew (guitar), Garrett Koloski (drums), Greg Ambler (bass), Shaun Sutkus (synths), all full-fledged members of the local punk/hardcore community, decided to make it full time and formed Perfect Pussy.
