Kentucky rock duo Girl Tones are turning up the volume with Precious, their debut full-length album, released through Parallel Vision and Big Loud Rock. Produced by Brad Shultz of Cage The Elephant, the record captures two sisters finding their voice, embracing individuality, and delivering a healthy dose of unapologetic rock and roll.
Made up of sisters Kenzie (vocals, guitar) and Laila (drums), the Bowling Green duo thrives on contrast. Sweet melodies collide with crunchy guitar riffs, aggressive rhythms, and plenty of attitude. Their colorful aesthetic is matched by an equally energetic sound that refuses to play it safe.
The album features a mix of high-energy rockers and more personal material. Tracks like “Pretty Face” challenge the pressure to fit in, while “Glowing Buzz” turns the weight of depression into a punchy, guitar-driven anthem. The title track takes a more emotional direction, reflecting on the loss of their grandmother, who affectionately called the sisters her “Precious.”
Girl Tones’ journey began long before the attention arrived, with childhood musical interests eventually leading Kenzie from cello to guitar and Laila from piano to drums. After building a following through DIY shows around Kentucky, the sisters caught the attention of Shultz, who signed them to his Parallel Vision label.
Since then, they’ve earned attention from major music publications, landed on Amazon Music’s Artists to Watch for 2026 list, and shared stages with Cage The Elephant, Silversun Pickups, and others.
For Girl Tones, Precious is more than a debut album. It’s a statement about being yourself, embracing the things that make you different, and never being embarrassed to show a little passion. With infectious hooks, plenty of guitar-driven energy, and a personal story behind the music, the sisters are making their introduction count.
