We’ve written about the solo work of Gainesville, Florida-based artist Waylon S. Thornton a few times before – in short: ramshackle and kind of disturbing, but it works like crazy – and now he’s found a kindred spirit.
Waylon Thornton (guitar, bass, drums) and Baesha Thompson (vocals) have started GiRL FiT, describing their self-titled debut EP – five tunes in less than seven minutes – as bratty riot grrrl bubblegum punk. The title track makes the relationship clear right away: “Sit down // Shut up // No one asked you // Motherfucker.” It’s lo-fi and raw, provocative and primitive, but also attractive and exciting.
The self-titled GiRL FiT EP is out now digitally and on cassette via Floating Skull.
