Vintage punk band, Pleasure Fix, is a trio out of San Diego, CA. The band is comprised of drummer Emily Schwartz, bassist Ariel Schwartz, and guitarist Jeff Podeszwik. Pleasure Fix captures an old school punk sound with their melodic female vocals sung by both Emily and Ariel. Their sound is also mixed with tight classic rock ballads close to bands like Led Zeppelin. Tom Tom was lucky enough to feature Emily and request her top ten songs to find out what inspires this female drummer.
