She Drew The Gun

Passionate, principled, and refreshingly plain-spoken, Louisa Roach will not be cowed into silence.

That message is more potent than ever on Behave Myself, the follow up to The Coral's James Skelly-produced Memories of Another Future, and Revolution of Mind. She Drew The Gun is a regular on the BBC 6 Music A-list as well as performing Glastonbury and having her remix with Arctic Monkeys dummer, Matt Helders, premiere on NME.
