WENCH! - "Shreds"


WENCH! are an "all-female, all-queer outfit" out of Hull, UK. The trio just released their debut single, and it's simply a must hear. "Shreds" fits into the newfangled punk coming out these days that is defiantly punk while still being more dance-friendly than the genre traditionally is. The difference is that while "Shreds" almost begs you to dance to it, it's a little louder and more discordant than punk normally gets these days. You're going to want to dance to it, but you won't quite know how to. As poppy as WENCH! get on their debut, they get just as abrasive. This is the type of song that's going to have you desperate to hear more from WENCH!

The band says of their new single:

Shreds is a song for anyone who feel intimidated by social situations to an extent they don’t say what they mean. We believe in expressing ourselves in a raw & unfiltered way which can sometimes backfire but enables us to speak from the heart. As a band, although we feel our songs can have a deeper meaning, we like to describe said songs in just a few words, being direct while refusing to be polite & quiet about the issues we face."
