Petrol Girls - Baby (Pink Vinyl)

The new full length album from the excellent hardcore punk outfit Petrol Girls. The single is a great taster for the new album. In singer Ren's own words: "It really showcases the vibe and musical direction of Baby. It’s playful, a bit unhinged and built on a repetitive riff. It was so much fun to write! "Joe came to practice with this riff and weird pedal effect that to me just sounded like the morning after Boomtown. The whole thing ended up having this weird circus vibe to it, so I started messing around with the lyrics to Stuck In The Middle With You (which is apparently by Stealers Wheel, but in my head it will always be Louise) - reworking them from the perspective of the clowns on the left. It started off as a joke but I felt there was political weight to it, and they stuck! And that playfulness is reflected across a lot of the record."
