Exeter's Muncie Girls are close to releasing their debut album.
Close, but not quite close enough. Before said LP drops – on August 31st, to be precise – they're releasing new song 'Locked Up'.
A fizzing piece of pop-etched punk with some biting lyrics, 'Locked Up' is one level about everyday inertia, the kind of baggage that keeps us all weighed down.
On another level, though, it's a political statement, looking at the way society demonises those on the margins and then locks them up.
Vocalist and guitarist Lande Hekt found herself railing against these aspects of life “that we’re expected to not only accept, but celebrate. It’s kind of depressing really,” she admits, whilst also explaining that it relates to the prison system and claustrophobia.
Tune in below.
