Sance Rock

THE BOTTOMLESS CAULDRON of metal is bubbling over with female-fronted, '70s-worshipping bands these days.

A Punch in the Mouth [Published Portland Mercury - May 22 2013]

"I'm worried," Otis says. "On the one hand, I know the young men we work with want to be different. [But] everyone they know is gang-affected."
