PETROL GIRLS announce UK TourOpen call for video submissions for ‘Touch Me Again’LISTEN: https://petrolgirls.bandcamp.com/track/touch-me-again Petrol Girls’ Ren Aldridge "cannot wait to come back over to the UK, see friends and have a proper good shout.” The band will hit the road in March and April, with several newly-announced headline shows, festival appearances and a stint supporting Strike Anywhere. Ren elaborates “I'm definitely not the only one feeling a bit overwhelmed by the state of politics right now, and touring always ends up being a great way of meeting people to rage, dance, hug and organise with. We're also collecting phone video submissions to put together a video for our song Touch Me Again, which grew out of the demo chant "MY BODY MY CHOICE" and seems to be something we'll be shouting a lot more given the escalating political attacks on women, wombs and marginalised bodies in general." On the 29th March, Ren will also perform solo at the book launch for ‘Nasty Women’, a book project which she contributed to. Tickets available here with further info here. Petrol Girls released their debut album ‘Talk of Violence’ via Bomber Music on 18th November, 2016. Caustic and pertinent, Petrol Girls’ live show has to be seen in the flesh to really be experienced. The band combine manic jagged rhythms with vocals that range from furious screaming to intricate melodies and harmonies. Influenced by Refused, White Lung, Bikini Kill, Fugazi, RVIVR, Propagandhi, At The Drive-In and War On Women, Petrol Girls have sculpted a sound and a performance that is not only explosive, but highly detailed and raucous. They identify as a feminist band and draw on personal experiences to challenge and ridicule sexism, as well as exploring wider political themes, such as alienation, mental health and the current anti-austerity movement. Sometimes desperate and sometimes defiant. LIVE DATES: APRIL MAY JULY AUGUST CONNECT: PETROL GIRLS ARE: ORDER/LISTEN: Notes to Editors March 13, 2017 2:39am ET by Major PR |
