Biography
"A high-energy rock foursome with a solid reputation"
Sean McCarthy ~ Standard Times
"SEXCOFFEE reminds me of the long-lost '90s band Mary's Danish (or Fleetwood Mac-meets-Sleater-Kinney)"
The Providence Phoenix
"A band that is good to the last drop"
Limelight Magazine
Some would compare this quartet to a modern, harder Fleetwood Mac or Pretenders, while others call it "a female-fronted Red Hot Chili Peppers". Regardless of your musical taste, SexCoffee creates a unique blend by pulling from many genres to ensure that you leave completely satisfied.
Ruth Charbonneau (lead vocals) and Sharlene DeNardo (bass guitar/vocals) comprise the innate harmonies and soulful melodies while Paul Campbell (drums/vocals) and Rick Gallego (guitar/vocals) encompass the foundation on which this band rocks.
With a rhythm-driven sound and dynamic-anchored core, this band's music generates a force that is truly distinctive to SexCoffee. Through in-your-face lyrics, backed up by bittersweet guitar licks, this band creates a sound that entertains a broad range of listeners and fans.
SexCoffee values both their contemporary and classical influences with special detail to eclectic, modern and traditional styles of music.
