Today sees Wolverhampton-based outfit FRIEDA STAR share their debut single Mothers and Sisters. Wasting no time in announcing their arrival, the band fuse bright, jangling guitar lines with a surge of relentless energy as they barrel toward the finish line. Speaking about their new offering, the band revealed: “‘Mothers and Sisters’ was inspired by an up-skirting incident involving Garran’s girlfriend, while returning home from Birmingham via the railway. Aggressively, and rightly so, Garran took his pen to paper to release frustrations and angst that his girlfriend fell victim to a complete stranger. As for many women across the world, these monstrous forms of misogyny are still present in modern society yet having been highlighted for decades. Hopefully, it demands the attention this injustice deserves.” Take a listen for yourselves below. 

FRIEDA STAR is Garran Hickman (vocals, lyrics), Scarlett Churchill (vocals, drums), James Knott (guitar, backing vocals), Xavier Al-Naqib (bass).
