New Sheffield threesome All Girls Arson Club are set to release their debut EP, 'Dark Fruits', on April 5 via the city's local DIY label/gig space, Delicious Clam.
Forming after a Lambrini-fuelled screening of Kathleen Hanna's The Punk Singer coupled with "a growing frustration with the (over-)abundance of boys in bands", lead singer and guitarist Alice Seed, bassist Vicky Hayward and drummer India Garry, made plans to make some noise. Their tongue-in-cheek, fun punk sound sticks to these riot grrrl roots, and the four-track' Dark Fruits' is full of hooks and no holds barred storytelling, including an ode to curry club and modern day relationships.
As a taster they are sharing 'Untitled' from the record. “Is this alright? Is this okay?” sings Alice, as the song provokes familiar memories of the commonplace everyday arguments that beset many a relationship, and the insecurity and frustration that can bring. The band say of it, "It's the soundtrack of ranting to your mates about relationships being frickin’ wank sometimes, but we do it anyway coz we’re all suckers for love."
