Savages: 'The Answer' | NPR MUSIC FRONT ROW

In this concert video, filmed in March before a sold-out crowd at the 9:30 Club in Washington D.C., the London band Savages is by turns tender and ferocious as it showcases tracks from its latest album, Adore Life. But it cannot be understated that Savages’ lead singer Jehnny Beth is a revelation: Even as she challenges the audience to match the group’s energy from every corner of the stage -- as well as catapulting herself onto the audience at one point -- it’s Beth’s emotional, life-affirming lyrics that leave the strongest impression.

Best drum performance of any Savages song, and one of the most ferocious drums I've ever heard from any artist.

Only 53 Likes you gotta be kidding me. One of the best bands around, great tune, great session. Maybe it's the NPR audience

they have so much better stuff to dive into. this is just repetitive, stop and go over a single layer of noise.

Why did Savages take a break just when we need them most?
