Screaming Females Announce They’re Breaking Up

Written by:

Screaming Females have announced they are breaking up.

Throughout their career the beloved New Jersey punk trio—guitarist/singer Marissa Paternoster, drummer Jarrett Dougherty and bassist Mike Abbate—put out close to ten albums, including Baby Teeth (2006), Castle Talk (2010) and 2023’s Desire Pathway.

They toured with The Breeders, Arctic Monkeys and Throwing Muses, recorded with Steve Albini and were critically lauded across the globe.

On their website today they posted the following statement: “After 18 years we have decided that Screaming Females is coming to an end. A lot changed around us over those 18 years but at our core we operated pretty much the same throughout. We funded and made the records we wanted to make. We did our own art. We printed a lot of our own merch. We managed ourselves. Probably most importantly we loaded up our van with our gear and traveled around the world to play shows wherever you would have us. We tried to build and celebrate community the best we could. There are too many people to thank and too many things that should be said but right now we have some leftover merch that we would love to get out of Mike’s basement! Order something for you, your friends, your family, your pets!”
