Hers Never Existed was an indie-punk band from Berkeley, California. Drummer and vocalist Kamala Parks also played in some other influential bands, including Malcriada, Cringer, and Naked Aggression. Hers Never Existed's sound struck a balance between aggression and melody; featuring soft, clean vocals one moment and dark, harshly screamed dissonance the next. They are comparable to other femme-fronted groups such as Huggy Bear and The Fisticuffs Bluff, so if you are a fan of those bands, I'd recommend checking Hers Never Existed out! I picked up their sole LP at a local store on a whim, (shout out Recordland) and despite the somewhat lackluster artwork, the material itself turned out to be surprisingly impressive and memorable.
