WAR ON WOMEN SIGN TO BRIDGE
NINE RECORDS
New Album Coming in Early
2015
Baltimore, MD-based co-ed feminist hardcore punk band War On
Women are excited to call Bridge Nine Records their new home.
The band just finished recording 11 new songs that will be released in
early 2015 on their yet-to-be-titled debut full-length.
War On Women formed in 2010 by several veterans of the
Baltimore rock scene, including members of AVEC and Liars Academy.
Describing their sound as "thrash rock meets riot grrrl", War On
Women write songs too inventive and too loud to be overshadowed by
their equally powerful messages. The band's furious live sets capture
all of the brevity and intensity of hardcore punk with another level of
lyrical and musical sophistication. War On Women's songs
attack sexist attitudes and institutionalized patriarchy women everywhere
still face in the 21st century with humor, intelligence, righteous anger
and monster riffs.
The band released their debut EP, Improvised
Weapons, back in 2012 on Exotic Fever Records and played alongside
punk rock staples Propagandhi,
Jello Biafra & The Guantanamo School of Medicine, Murder City Devils,
The Menzingers and countless others in support of it. The EP was well
received by fans and press alike, with Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace
singing the band's praises and PopMatters calling them "heavy enough to
feel like an injection of lead into the backbone". Now, War On
Women are excited to release their debut full-length album that was
recently recorded with J. Robbins at the Magpie Cage. These new
tracks are a natural progression for the band and a little more polished
than their previous efforts, while remaining as blistering as ever.
Vocalist Shawna Potter has "…plenty of material to pull from when it
comes to writing lyrics, considering the pervasive sexism in modern
America", she commented.
More information on War On Women's new album coming
very soon - in the meantime, see the band on tour in the U.S. and Canada
with Propagandhi and RVIVR next month.
