Review: Plush are the future of rock on debut album

The future of rock ‘n’ roll is in good hands with Plush, the all-female hard rock quartet whose self-titled debut album could be the best album of 2021

I no longer fear for the future of rock 'n' roll: It is in the capable hands of the four young ladies of Plush, perhaps the heaviest all-female rock group ever to put pick to string, and whose debut album could be the best album of 2021.

Imagine Pink singing for Metallica, and that just scratches the surface of the Plush sound.

You probably don't know the name lead singer Moriah Formica yet — but you will, and soon. It will be in the same sentence with some of the greatest female vocalists — make that vocalists, period — of all time, including Ann Wilson of Heart and Pat Benatar, whose songs Formica used to cover as a teenager in rock clubs with only an acoustic guitar. The arena has not been built with a roof high enough to contain her soaring, multi-octave vocals.
