Thee ahs are a four piece band from Vancouver that consists of 3 girls and one boy which is a nice combination.I found out about them in 2011 when they released their debut album “Thee Ahs Nation”, an album full of indie pop energy with a small twist of punk rock. They sounded like a fresh version of The Moldy Peaches which is always a cool thing if you love your D.I.Y..
Well, 2013 finds the band releasing their second album entitled “Future Without Her”. I was surprised to hear the progress that they have made since their last release!
Let’s start from the songwriting, in this area Thee Ahs have made the biggest progress, they have kept the nice indie pop melodies but have added some small noisy moments that take their songs to another level! Take the song “Alice” for example where the mood changes from verse to chorus. Lyrically they have focused almost at the same subjects which is not a bad thing. Another nice surprise was how better they seem to have gotten at playing/recording their instruments and vocals. “Future Without Her” is a record to be heard non stop from first to last song. My personal favourites are “Our Town” and “Wonka Pump” with the latter reminding me of 40’s girl bands like the Andrews Sisters.
So, if you enjoy the sounds of Jonathan Richman, The moldy peaches, The softies and Allo Darlin I am pretty sure that you will love thee Ahs!
