Rebecca Nurse was an alternative, indie rock band from Rhode Island, USA. They released 2 albums before splitting up, and reforming as The Radionics.

Founding members Tracy & Shawn Garrity are still active in their own project, VulGarrity.
What makes this band so special? Snot-nosed-post-punk/pop-retro 80’s bands abound. So why Rebecca Nurse? The answer may be that Rebecca Nurse is none of the above and all of the above, and then some – all at once. The closer you listen, the more you realize, if not recognize, the depth of their influences. And listen you will, as the band demands your attention. Sonic sparks from the savage rhythm section converge with what one critic described as ‘a red hot goddess who drips sex appeal as she shimmies and shakes around the stage…Her voice…powerful and confident containing equal doses of sarcasm and sweetness’. Add defiance in the form of guitar. What escapes is great rock music. Creative. Unpretentious. Evolutionary. Powerful. A groovy time for all. Rebecca Nurse is a highly professional and exceptionally skilled act, which you will be proud to show-off as your very own discovery. Oh, and yes, you can dance to it. You know you want to.
