In July of 2008, three beautiful girls and some instruments were united to form the post punk band known as Josephine. Main vocals and guitar are provided by Xtina Rubio, with bass plucking done by Leigh Regan and Tracy Thompkins on the drums. The first click of the play button brings on the raspy voices similar to those of The Donnas, and tunes influenced by Johnny Cash and Pat Benetar. These chicks have the ability to get even appers rockin' out, especially with Xtina's pulse-like strumming in "Down to the Sea." If some of the lyrics are confusing, don't feel bad; Josephines' endowment of true poetic utterance is simply complimented by their acoustic mastery. But "Billy's Song" is simple yet so powerful, perfect for those down days. There is something in their collection for everyone, from the lyricists and poets to the musicians and head boppers. Support their short but strong EP and definitely keep your ears on the lookout for these girls!
