L.A.’s Girl Friday have come flying out of the traps in 2021 with their new single ‘Earthquake’. Produced by Norm Block, it will be the new single from their album ‘Androgynous Mary’.
A stinging piece of punk rock that demands attention! They evoke the Riot Grrrl fire of Bikini Kill and Veruca Salt to a level that, frankly, makes the early 90s scene redundant. Percolating among the vicious storm of vocals and guitars is the playfulness of Generation X’s ‘Dancing With Myself’ and the hypnotic drama of L7.
Unsurprisingly, this blast of punk is a tale of liberation. They’ve embedded a belief and desire to cause an uprising that usurps the Arab Spring! Even though sonically, it’s as direct a record as you’ll hear, there is a universality at play that allows for personal traumas to formulate around their fire.
‘Androgynous Mary’ is out now via Hardly Art Records.
