loudwomen.orgTracy Bonham revives her punk fury with ‘I’m Not A Waif’Three decades later, Tracy Bonham revives I’m Not A Waif, a blast of alternative rock with a punk attitude that takes aim at the beauty standards and impossible expectations still imposed on women. It first appeared on her 1995 EP The Liverpool Sessions, and, unfortunately for us, its message has barely aged. So it makes perfect sense that it’s now out as a single and as a bonus track on LIFT, the album on which Bonham revisits her 1996 debut, The Burdens of Being Upright. LIFT is out on 13 November via American Laundromat Records.

Delilah Rose starts a revolution with ‘Unlearning’ We spend much of our lives trying to fit in with what’s expected of us. We learn how to behave, which paths to follow, when to keep quiet and how long we’re allowed to keep chasing our dreams. Worst of all, we internalise those rules until they…

loudwomen.orgDelilah Rose starts a revolution with ‘Unlearning’We spend much of our lives trying to fit in with what’s expected of us. We learn how to behave, which paths to follow, when to keep quiet and how long we’re allowed to keep chasing our dreams. Worst of all, we internalise those rules until they become our own limits. Australian artist Delilah Rose, approaching fifty, has also asked herself whether it still makes sense to make music at her age. Her answer? To tell all those expectations to fuck off and show that real freedom might lie in unlearning everything that has stopped us from being ourselves.

loudwomen.orgKristeen Young make one hell of a racket on ‘Full Scrotal Scorpio’It’s been a long time since I heard an art-rock/art-punk record as fascinating as Full Scrotal Scorpio. Much of the magic comes from something that might sound limiting on paper: building an entire rock album around the piano rather than the electric guitar. The astonishing thing is that across these twelve tracks, you don’t miss the guitar for a second. If anything, it’s hard to imagine these songs sounding better any other way.

loudwomen.orgTough Cookie’s ‘Devotion’ turns raw vulnerability into uncompromising alt-rockThere is an undeniable gravity to Devotion, the compelling new five-track release via Gravity Records from London outfit, Tough Cookie. Emerging from an echo-laden subterranean church basement, the EP grounds its sprawling, feedback-laced riffs in uncompromising emotional exposure. Frontman, August Tse leads the four-piece through a dense, dynamic landscape; balancing fragile vulnerability against thunderous bursts of guitar work from Jess Ayres while pulling back the curtain on the messier parts of human connection. Each track explores the heavy weight of topics such as codependency, obsession, and the quiet ache of watching someone slip away. Devotion delivers a bold, lingering collection that proves alternative music hits hardest when it is completely raw and deeply personal.

Her latest, BABADABA, is raw, visceral rock with very little polish. BABADABA is rock and roll at its most stripped-back, somewhere between primitive garage rock and distorted blues rock, with a fair bit of hard rock thrown in.

These Australian psych rockers nail some of the best dualities in rock and roll here. Gritty and syrupy. Sunshine with a dark premise. Atmospheric, but desert. Smooth and spiky. Seductive, but devastating.
