After their pre-lockdown debut, Who Are the Girls?, the London duo of lead vocalist and guitarist Amy Love and bassist Georgia South return with a blisteringly exciting hybrid of punk, heavy rock/metal, hip hop, pop and R&B. The two long-time friends describe themselves as “two mixed-race girls who shout through distorted mics and play gnarly bass riffs” but they do much more than that with punchy lyrics and riffs, and clever songwriting. Cleopatra announces: “I’m a straight talker, fucking say what you mean!” and “When I was a kid they always called me a freak/ And now them little bitches want to look like me /They'll be injecting, imperfecting till it starts to weep / You can buy your looks, but you can't change your genes.” There are distinct strains of nu-metal, Led Zeppelin and especially Rage Against the Machine, with Tom Morello among their admirrs. Further standouts include Antagonist, Choose Your Fighter, A Dark Place for Somewhere Beautiful, and the fast rapping KMB, packed with take-no-prisoner lyrics that rail against racism, sexism and any form of lazy assumption and prejudice. A supreme sandblaster of an album bursting with energy and much to say, and a great band to catch live. Out on Marshall Records.
