THE HELLFLOWERS GIVES US THEIR VERSION OF DEVO’S “GIRL U WANT”

Los Angeles based band, The Hellflowers, brings us their cover of the classic “Girl U Want” (originally by DEVO) for their latest release. The band breathes instant new life into the song, while respecting the original classic 80’s rock sound it hails from - not an easy thing to do. Adding big crunchy guitars, a driving bass for a bit of a fuller sound than the original, and Christina’s strong female vocals that will revive that bada** rock n roll era of Joan Jett, Blondie and Hole. “Girl U Want” is a literal time machine - - this song will transport you to walking down Sunset Boulevard in the 80’s, hearing rock music in its prime coming from every venue on the strip. The lyrics are confident and sassy, and the new female vocals will give you a confident strut in your step when you walk around with this tune on repeat.

“She’s just a girl

Just a girl

The girl you want.

Look at you with your mouth watering.

Look at you with your mind spinning.

Why don’t you admit it’s all over,

She’s the girl you want.”

If you like this track, you’ll be excited to know they released a music video for Girl U Want. The music video respects the same sentiment - new and current, but keeping that classic DIY feel to match the original nostalgia. New age video game/super hero tropes, with homage to many 80’s visuals in the performance shots. I won’t give it away, but you can tell The Hellflowers respect their elders by carefully curating the world surrounding this release. Make sure you give it a watch!
