Cara Delevingne, Ashley Benson and Dylan Gelula joined forces to form the grunge band of our dreams – but unfortunately, the whole thing is actually fictional. Their girl group, Akergirls, can only be seen in their indie movie Her Smell.
This musical drama made some waves when it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year, and it finally hit theaters in the US this month. It tells the story of a washed-out grunge star, Becky Something (Elisabeth Moss), who descends into addiction and self-destruction after experiencing brief success with her band Something She.
Moss wasn’t the only one who got to show off her musical talent in this movie. Delevingne, Benson, and Gelula proved that they’re a match made in heaven as the Akergirls. A short clip from Her Smell shows the trio perfectly channeling the grunge movement in their song “Can’t Wait”.
The video for the song has a very retro feel, and it shows the three stars performing their catchy tune on a rooftop of a tall building. Take a listen and decide for yourself – would you have gone to see the Akergirls live if they were actually a real band.
