When Naomi Punk's debut LP The Feeling came out in Spring 2012 on Couple Skate records, it felt new and unpretentious.

Not in the sense that it was without influence. There's plenty to pick apart in their music.

The band isn't afraid of writing pop songs, the same way other bands like Sonic Youth and Nirvana would draw out huge hooks from dissonance-but their sound is very much their own.

Though they initially began as a collage project, and their website is little more than a couple images, a list of some bands they like, and contact info, Naomi Punk, are, at heart, a trio that just wants to make good songs.
