FEA, Go Fever, Shy Beast, Lola Tried

Girl in a Coma’s Phanie Diaz and Jenn Alva lead San Antonio riot grrrl quartet Fea with fiery Chicana punk. 2016’s self-titled bow, co-produced by genre godmother Alice Bag and Against Me!’s Laura Jane Grace, debuted brutally melodic bilingual anthems like “Mujer Moderna.” Go Fever’s sharp local pop supports, as sustained by Aussie Acey Monaro’s big voice. Sleek synth from Shy Beast and chiming indie by Lola Tried begins. – Rachel Rascoe
