The World

A junior high bonding moment over tortured Morrissey music led to the formation of the San Antonio band Girl in a Coma. Now the band – Jenn Alva and sisters Phanie and Nina Diaz – is getting attention from rock gods like Joan Jett. Their new album Trio B.C. pays tribute to the sisters’ grandfather, who introduced them to the Tejano music he played in the 1950s. Produced by Leital Molad.
