Badlands

Badlands, or better known as the individual Adrian Chi Tenney, is the strong female voice and musician behind such acts as Spokenest, God Equals Genocide, Together Pangea (Never Not Know Nothing EP and before), Panacea String Band, Hotel la Rut, Dismicrowave, etc. etc., you get the point, she can hold her own with most any instrument as well as with performing in a variety of styles. This is the result of what happens when she's able to shed the bullshit of band dynamics and focus on music that's completely hers.
