Melbourne’s fierce punks Daddy Issues are one of the awesome bands playing LOUD WOMEN Fest Australia this December – we are so thrilled to get to know them better!
The band just dropped a Goldilocks inspired video for their patriarchy-smashing anthem ‘Ursine Major’, which sees the macho bears facing a pretty grisly ending.
“Ursine Major is a song about empowering femmes to free themselves from the clutches of toxic relationships and controlling masculinity, so I wanted to represent these themes of femme rage and empowerment in a really stylised and almost grotesque manner. In the original Goldilocks tale, the three bears were three bachelor housemates instead of a family, so the idea of turning the bears into stereotypical scummy sharehouse bros and playing with these exaggerated tropes whilst leaning into the unhinged nature of the Goldilocks character really appealed to me as a fun way to represent femme rage and empowerment.”
