<\/a>\u201cWe never set out a theme to this album but when it was done it just became an album about breakups and monsters,\u201d says Miller. \u201cAlmost every song is about a monster one way or another, and those are kind of unpersons if you take it literally. Also, it relates to how we feel sometimes, being women in music.\u201d<\/p>\n
The band\u2019s sound has often been compared to the White Stripes and Black Keys, but Miller believes – and hopes – that this is a thing of the past.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we first started out we were doing more of a blues-rock thing, but now I don\u2019t really think it\u2019s comparable,\u201d she says. \u201cI don\u2019t really hear it anymore, and we\u2019ve gone with a more garage-rock punk-pop sound. If it helps people who like those bands discover us, and they like us, then I guess that\u2019s fine. I would hate for it to be confused as something we sought out to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miller and Black had initially started playing together in that blues-rock style simply because they felt it was easier to jam with. But playing a style of music just because it\u2019s easy has caused some regret for Miller.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would erase the first two albums,\u201d she says, \u201cjust because they\u2019re not us now and I don\u2019t even know if they were us at the time. Maybe that sounds harsh, but I just think they are of a different time.\u201d<\/p>\n
