Today’s #trackoftheday is leg-crossingly hard-relatable debut from London’s most fun new punk band, Twat Union: ‘UTI’.

Stars of our 8th Birthday Party gig last month, Twat Union are a seven-piece modern day riot grrrl ensemble, from the delightful Venn diagram of bands encompassing All Day Breakfast Cafe, Queen Colobus, The Higher Planes and The Young Flood.

Talking about the single, front woman Kate Mac tells us,

“people don’t talk about UTIs very much, but most of us have had them, and most of us hate them (no kink-shaming if you like them but we would love to hear from you if you’re actually a fan). And if you don’t get them, we guarantee you know someone that does. This song is for everyone to shout, laugh, cry, and generally express your anger about female and non-binary medical problems (we know some men get them too) and maybe we can change the narrative around when and how it’s ok to talk about issues down there”.

Moral of the story: always pee after sex.

Catch the Twats’ at their single launch at The Jago on 30th November, or headline show in Bristol on 27 January at Crofter’s Rights.
