Description
Faster than you can say heavy fucking metal, The Butcher Babies have clawed their way to the top of the Hollywood music scene to become the undisputed darlings of the Sunset Strip.Fronted by Carla Harvey and Heidi Shepherd, (former Playboy TV and radio personalities that are rarely seen wearing more than strategically placed electrical tape and a gallon or so of blood), and backed by Henry Flury on lead guitar (Amen), Jason Klein on bass (Azdachao), and Chris Warner on drums (Scars of Tomorrow), the Butcher Babies dish out metal at its finest during shows that play out like a slaughter house carnival ride.
Rock Journalist Keith Valcourt recently hailed the Butcher Babies as “The Hottest Band in the World” in his review of a show. “The Butcher Babies deliver a loud crashing blend of heavy metal, punk and thrash that recalls Pantera and Motorhead, with a healthy dose of young, pissed-off Runaways-era Joan Jett tossed in,” notes Valcourt, adding “their stage show embodies the horror antics of Alice Cooper and Rob Zombie. Carla and Heidi don’t merely sing: they assault the crowd with a blinding flash of aggression and abuse. And the crowd loves them for it.”
The Butcher Babies’ anxiously awaited first EP is due to be released late this year, and July 2011 marked the release of a Butcher Babies comic book that was a sell out at famed Comic Con International, adding to their mythology. The perfect anti heroes for a new generation of shock rockers, the Butcher Babies are quickly turning the music business on its ear and are poised to take on the world.
