The Twats, as they’re affectionately identified, don’t shrink back from the essential subjects together with, however not restricted to thigh chafe, urinary tract infections, and folks assuming you don’t know how you can tune a guitar since you’re a lady (FFS).
Commenting on the one, the London-based band stated: “Our new single is in regards to the assumption that you just’re the singer of the band simply since you’re a lady. All feminine musicians may have an expertise that they might inform you about the place they’ve been spoken to as in the event that they don’t know how you can play their instrument. So we wrote this thrashy anthem for them (and us). Alongside this theme we’ve made a music video the place we use guitar picks as pretend nails, a trumpet as a hoover, and a jack lead as a washing line for our tiny pants. As a result of that’s all we might presumably do with devices, proper?!”
