As their first release as a six piece band after previously having just four members, it’s promising to see how well they work together already.  It was released on Big Richard Records and cowritten by Layla Ameen. 

While it was officially released on October 11th, the song was debuted at the bands Friday 13th show at The Windmill, a traditionally unnerving day that aligns with the songs unusual lyrics. ‘Pretty soon all this is gonna turn into zits and skin’ they repeat throughout. Their unsettling lyrics match the bands name which comes from the Carol J. Clover book ‘Men, Women, and Chain Saws: Gender in the Modern Horror Film’.  The band admits they haven’t read the actual book but liked the title enough to take it for themselves. 

They describe themselves as “brash, unadulterated noise-pop from the heart of London”. The spoken word verses by vocalist Ben Holmes have a clear Black Country, New Road influence but by combining his parts with Vera Leppänen’s gritty belting vocals, they manage to differentiate themselves from their contemporaries. It shows a lot of maturity considering the band members are only 18 at the time of release. 

They’re pretty new to the scene, having made their festival debut at The Great Escape this year. After a few shows around London including one with Alien Chicks earlier this month, their next show is part of We Are So Young and will take place at The Social on November 30th. They’ll no doubt be announcing more shows and music soon so stay tuned to their social media platforms until then.
