Please meet Frida Kill, a feminist four-piece punk band out of Brooklyn, New York. Maria Lina (vocals, bass, drums), Lily Gist (vocals, guitar, bass), Jeanette D. Moses (vocals guitar), and Gaby Canales (drums, bass, guitar) share their instruments to make noise about the dystopian nightmare in which we are currently wandering. The five songs on their debut EP are a convincing introduction, but the standout and most urgent track is the first single Mujeres Con Mangos, a danceable song with bilingual lyrics that gives humanity and visibility to those who often go unseen (in this case harmless but undocumented workers getting a ticket by the cops in the freezing cold for selling mangos). With awesome vocals and a powerful guitar riff on driving bass and drum rhythms, this could have been a Rancid hit.
EP 1 is out now digitally and on cassette via Insecurity Hits. Add to wantlist: Bandcamp
