The soundtrack to our Friday is this absolute belter from Dublin’s Sprints – Kissing Practice. A song about “sonder, melancholy and the mundane routine of everyday life” – performed like Idles on a bender. We really, really want to see this band live.

The soundtrack* to our Friday comes from Dublin-via-Berlin artist Runah – her driving and beguiling electropop single ‘Same Face’, out today, will keep you pumped today. And massive kudos to Runah for releasing a single on Valentine’s Day with zero schmaltz – the song is about “colliding the natural world and human creations”, and it bangs.
*yes we have two soundtracks today – why the hell not, it’s Friday!

The soundtrack to our Friday today is an EP the brilliant Claire Foxx and the Antisocial Justice Worriers, the unequivocal message ‘Rise Up!’. Four hard-hitting gender politics pop punk bangers – essential listening.

Our Friday soundtrack is the perfectly-biting feminist indie-pop anthem ‘Playground’ from Austria’s My Ugly Clementine.
This one goes out to the fella from TRNSMT Festival who told the BBC this week that the reason he’d filled his festival lineup full of dull white blokes was a lack of female talent. We got news for you, Geoff …
My Ugly Clementine can sit with us. Find them on facebook instagram.
We missed the launch of Leeds’ Instant Bin‘s cracking album last Friday, but today it marks the start of a new feature for loudwomen.org – our Friday Soundtrack. Crank up ‘There’s Something Poisonous in the Water’ to 11 on repeat – it’s the drums-and-bass punk anthem of today.
Save top track ‘I’m Important’ for lunchtime heavy rotation (and try not to sing the chorus to your boss afterwards).
