The soundtrack to our Friday is ‘Boys in the Band’ by Lambrini Girls.
A hard-hitting hard-relate banger calling out sexual assault and abuse in the music scene, and the cocky bastards who think they can get away with it because they’re in a band people like. Fuck that fucking shit.
“The reason why we have a problem with abusers on the scene is that people don’t call out their mates. And if you don’t call out your mates it perpetuates their behaviour cos they have no fucking consequence. So call out your mates, don’t re-traumatise victims, and have the awareness to make sure you’re looking out for others.”
Phoebe Lunny, Lambrini Girls
Alongside the track, Lambrini Girls release a limited edition longsleeve priced at £30 with 100% of the profits going to Refuge, Rape Crisis, and Safeline charities.
