DIGGING DEEPER / LIBRALIBRA

WHY DO WOMEN OFFEND?

I am a woman and I front a band. This does not make our band fall into a specialised genre, this is not a gimmick, this is my profession, I welcome the days where I am taken seriously but I’ve lost count of how many times I am not. Sorry for the dramatic introduction but we as women are faced with ridicule and prejudice every day of our lives, however much you think things are changing they can suddenly go ten steps back and although finally there is a conversation about sexism in the music industry, it is still rife, it is still an almighty challenge, not just in music but in life. And this leads me to my question, "Why do women offend?’

"WHEN WE FIRST ASKED IF WE COULD PLAY WE WERE TOLD PLAIN AND SIMPLE ’NO’ THIS WAS FOR THE BOYS..."

Our EP "Hail Mary" comes out on August 14th 2020.
