Sisterhood is powerful within the realm of Larkin Poe. Georgia-born sibs Rebecca and Megan Lovell named their band after an ancestor and grounded their sound in deep blues roots. But while their raw, throaty vocals and serpentine guitar licks are ultra-earthy, they take the blues someplace new, amping things up with a fearsome attack that blends hard rock and alternative flavours. Whether they’re turbocharging a blues standard or laying a self-penned claim to the roots-rock throne, Larkin Poe link pre-war American music with the stadium-stomping blues rockers of the ’70s and the present moment with a rumble and roar that are impossible to ignore.
