Best Band To Die in the Past 12 Months
Shaved Women
This past April, Shaved Women hit the road for one last tour. For two weeks, the hardcore band wound its way through the country, making stops through the South and the East Coast as it geared up for its grand finale. On April 25, it all came to an end with a gut-wrenching set at Melt. Shaved Women will be missed by fans around the nation, but here in St. Louis, the band's absence leaves a particularly deep void. The city feels a little bit quieter without Ben Salyers' screams echoing through our basements. Thankfully, Shaved Women left behind five years' worth of recordings, including its latest LP, Just Death, which was released last August.
