Search - Diabolique :: Uses of Disorder

Not content to sit behind her spectacles in a cozy uptown office, Pascale Jean-Louis takes her psychotherapy to the stage where she advises from experience. With a voice at once slippery and severe, Diabolique?s frontwoman is not araid to dredge up or rehash the unpleasantries of life. Diabolique?s unique brand of rock ensnares the listener with buzz-saw guitars, deep grooves and hypnotic vocals reminiscent of Chrissy Hynde matched with the gaul of Courtney Love. The band?s EP, Uses of Disorder, establishes Diabolique as the voice of a collective urban unconscious: downtrodden,spat-upon, cracked up and aching for more. Their unique merging of undeniable command and molten vulnerability distinguishes Diabolique as the quintessential band for an injured generation struggling to define itself.
