prime8ofthequagaars I was having a bad day at work, but Glitoris were playing in the basement bar and I was able to catch a few glimpses of the show and I was hooked. They made me feel good, empowered, like I could take on the world. I was tempted to buy the album there and then, and I've been kicking myself ever since, especially after hearing more online. So here I am, buying it via BandCamp the day after I had the chance to buy it direct from the band. A truly great and unique band with a lot to say. Favorite track: The Policy.

Paul M A punk album blended with pop, classic rock/glam and hard rock riffs to sound like no other punk album I've heard. It even incorporates acapella at the beginning of a track. Musicianship and vocals are top notch (vocal harmonisation is used to great effect), its raging, satirical, political yet catchy. I don't think there is anything these ladies can't do. Favorite track: The Policy.

Warriors 02:27
Hey you, all of you people who rock around acting like women are property Hey you, all of you people who put us in our place and legislate to keep us there Hey you, all of you people who keep us playing by the rules so you can take the lead Hey you, all of you people who throw us on the floor and hate, hate, hate Hey those words and actions that teach us from the day we’re born that we’re second best And those double standards that see them looking at us but listening to them Hey you, keeping your mates in high places so the leaders look the same So little girls looking to those high places learn that it’s not for them Warriors Warriors Warriors We will take you down Hey you, movers and shakers who put your bodies on the line and throw ‘em off their iron thrones And you builders and makers who spit and kick and hit until your hands turn red Hey you first wavers, your green and purple flag made flat under the horse’s hoof And you fast and fearless, you brought us from that place and we still fight Warriors Warriors Warriors We will take you down Warriors Warriors Warriors We will take you down

What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt You know what makes me really fucking mad is the pressure on women in male dominated industries to constantly prove that they’re better than men to be awarded the same fucking respect. This bullshit means that the bar is set so high for us that we end up discussing double standards, we can’t be as good as them, we have to be better than them. This farcical shit storm of a reality means that we must constantly prove that you’re smarter, shrewder, quicker, always fucking better. What a fucking crock of shit. We’re not here to fuck spiders, my ass. What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt I’m so fucking sick of the male dominated media industry and the toxic portrayal of standards of femininity that none of us can attain. “Secrets of supermodel skin” “Life changing sex is just a click away.” “Luscious, one hundred percent flake free hair with Argan oil” Oh, and by the way, stop appropriating the politics and expression of our marginalized punk subculture with your weak, reductive fashion. Fuck off. What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt Argh, uggh Nah, uggh Blee blee bloo Blah blah blee Nyer nyer nyer nyer nyer nyer nyer Nyer nyer nyer nyer nyer nyer nyer Uh oh What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt What a cunt, what a cunt, what a motherfucking cunt

Bossy, tenacious She’s ungenerous and ungracious Headstrong, ambitious A careerist, a careerist scab What a show off She’s too intelligent And as for that tall poppy We’re gonna cut her down Assertive (she’s what?) Assertive, assertive Are you serious? Fine lines and wrinkles And facials and eyebrows That need shaping and sculpting Then bleaching, and then faulting She’s had lipo and botox Injections, then airbrushed ‘Cos you’re worth it, you’re worth it You’re worth it, you’re worth it What the hell would she know? Yea, what the hell would she know? Slut power Psycho and crazy A drunken, a drunken victim Mental and unstable She was culpable for her own rape Erratic and volatile A head case, she’s a murderess No, hormonal, hormonal Hormonal, hormonal And she was asking for it And she was asking for it Slut power Slut Slut Slut Slut Slut Slut Fuck your labels, you can eat me Reclaiming our slut glory Fuck your labels, you can eat me Reclaiming our slut glory Fuck your labels, you can eat me Reclaiming our slut glory Fuck your labels, you can eat me Reclaiming our slut glory Fuck your labels, you can eat me Reclaiming our slut glory Fuck your labels, you can eat me Reclaiming our slut glory Fuck your labels, you can eat me Reclaiming our slut glory Fuck your labels, you can eat me Reclaiming our slut glory Yea she had it coming to her She’s a pariah

about

Glitoris debut album! Equal parts anthemic, ferocious, political yet absurd, the Canberra four-piece have delivered a modern-day punk classic! THE POLICY traverses the band’s broad musicianship from soaring orchestral rock (The Policy) through driving metal power riffs (Spit Hood, Slut Power), classic punk spats (Sex Video), stunning four-part-harmony-laden classic rock bangers (Licks & Politics, Cock Rock, Dippin My Wick) and theatrical cabaret (Theme From Glitoris). Lyrically, THE POLICY leaves no political stones unturned; the band express their unapologetic feminist rage (Warriors, What A Cunt) against a backdrop of ludicrous scenarios (My Fucking Car) all the while critiquing Western political apathy (The Executioner, Place For Me). Defiant, comedic, visceral and, ultimately, empowering: THIS IS THE GLITORIS POLICY.

about

Glitoris Canberra, Australia

Loud. Unapologetic. Hilarious. Fierce, Fun, Frenetic, and Femme: Glitoris is more than just a band. Blending genre-defying art rock musicianship with razor-sharp lyrics, sardonic wit, on-point politics, and theatrical badassery, Glitoris is equal parts fists-in-the-air anthems, high-octane frenzy, and call-to-arms empowerment. ... more
