The Females got some more exposure in 2009 after a series of jaw-dropping performances at New York’s CMJ and a tour with Dead Weather. The band focused on collaborative releases in 2008, including a split 7″ with Full of Fancy on Let’s Pretend Records and another split 7″, this one consisting of Neil Young covers, with Hunchback. The band quickly followed up with its sophomore album, What If Someone Is Watching Their T.V.?, which was self-released and later reissued by Don Giovanni Records, with whom the band has enjoyed a good relationship. In 2007 the band fired its opening shot, self-releasing its debut full-length, Baby Teeth, as well as the Arm Over Arm/Zoo of Death 7″. and Sleater-Kinney, the Brunswick trio of Marissa Paternoster (guitar/vocals), Michael Abbate (bass), and Jarrett Dougherty (drums) strives to embody the spirit of indie rock in its purest form Screaming Females book their own shows and self-released many of their own records to bring their guitar-driven rock to the people without compromise. approach to create their own brand of indie rock.

It's hard to imagine anyone else capturing the visceral urgency of a tracks like "Serve The Servants" and "Very Ape" quite like Albini did, but he also let the beauty shine through on more tender songs like "Dumb" and "Pennyroyal Tea." It might not have been exactly what DGC wanted, but 'In Utero' was still a thorny, wriggling masterpiece, and one that gave Cobain a chance to show the world exactly what he thought Nirvana was before he took his own life.Formed in 2006, New Jersey’s Screaming Females combine scorching guitars with a firmly D.I.Y. producer Scott Litt in to sweeten the mix on "Heart-Shaped Box" and "All Apologies." But Albini turned out to be a great musical match for the band.

And there were rumblings that DGC didn't consider In Utero fit for release they eventually brought R.E.M. Nirvana's decision to work with Albini on the all-important 'Nevermind' follow-up could be seen as a statement of intent: The newly minted Most Important Band On Earth signing on with one of the major-label system's most important critics for a destined-to-be-huge record that would smack Nirvana's huge audience around with their underground aesthetics.
