Singer and songwriter Georgie talks through ‘Thelma & Louise’ – “I wrote this song while sat on the sofa at home watching Thelma and Louise. I had this heavy riff and was like this whole theme fits perfectly. It’s a feeling that matches the ethos of girlband wholly. Empowered within friends who get free of the baggage at home and find themselves in the whirlwind of freedom that being on the road brings. It’s about friendship, empowerment and freedom ultimately.“

Singer and songwriter Georgie talks about ‘Talk Me Down’: “This song has become a firm favourite for us to play live. It has all the elements that I think represent us best and all the ingredients of what we love as a three-piece. The lyric is probably the most profound and personal of all the releases yet. As it is indeed a real-life situation that happened for me and I couldn’t really write about it until years after. I guess we hope this song finds anyone who’s struggling mentally and I like to think it makes people know that there’s always someone there. I didn’t want this song to just be the negatives of the situation but stand up with some hope and optimism in such a brutal situation.”

‘21st Century Suffragette’ is the sound of Girlband! hitting the accelerator. The track is a blaze of searing guitars from Georgie and Kay, with propulsive rhythms from Jada. The Nottingham-based three-piece make a blistering, high octane sound simultaneously channelling truth and rebellion, crystallising the two and framing them in a perfect two-and-a-half-minute single. ‘21st Century Suffragette’ is a firm live favourite already that is set to build on the success of ‘Not Like The Rest’.

The band talk about the track – “’21st Century Suffragette’ is about being told who to be by society or maybe even someone closer and finding the empowerment in rebelling against that. Especially as women! People see the word ‘suffragette’ and think of the early 20th century which is of course true and they set the way but this song is about the importance of still fighting for rights that go against the system and in our opinion socially just. We just needed to get some angst out of our system after getting to a point where we were like ‘f you enough is enough.’”

‘Not Like The Rest’ is a stunning single. A joyous piece of escapism that perfectly captures the feeling growing up in a small town, not quite fitting in and dreaming of something more. It is already an early live favourite and will be the perfect introduction. They’ll be heading on tour for the first time this year, kicking off at Deaf Institute (The Lodge) in Manchester and taking in Sound City, Teddy Rocks and even Block Party in Paris along the way.
