More often than not female fronted punk bands get lumped together with the no wave and/or garage crowds, depending on whether they wear American Apparel or customised leather jackets. But Philadelphia’s Slutever prove there’s something notably independent stirring over the other side of the ocean. Alongside Atlanta band The Coathangers, the duo swing between the yelp of Riot Grrrl and the growl of first wave bands like The Runaways; pushing fun in front of political motivations, but standing guard of their convictions nevertheless.
Following support slots with Best Coast, Cults, Jeff the Brotherhood and Slow Animal, Slutever are going on their first national tour this summer. Dates here. Their second EP Pretend To Be Nice came out on on Bantic Media via Drexel University last month, and can be heard below.
