Recently, I became acutely aware of Sulfur City. They are presently riding the wave of their debut record being released on Alive-Natural Sound.
There were a lot of things I really liked about this band, but what struck me was something a bit different than just it's the first female fronted band on the label...check it out!
Glacially Musical: Thank you for taking a little time for me today.
Lori Paradis: My pleasure, Nik.
GM: There are a few very obvious influences, but who influenced or inspired you that would surprise us?
LP: Nina Simone is very inspirational to me and everything about her floors me. Also Ani DiFranco because she’s not afraid to speak her mind and her music is amazing.

Another influence is Ben Harper for the way he experiments in different styles of music and the way he lets go emotionally in a song.
