Turn Up The Volume will give you 5 reasons why it would be a fucking shame not to know/enjoy the a.w.e.s.o.m.e. LAMBRINI GIRLS. Three punk-crazy Amazons from Brighton, UK with vox/guitarist Phoebe Lunny and bassist Lilly Macieira upfront, recently named by imperishable legend Iggy Pop as his new favorite band. Actually, that alone should be enough to realise how fucking good they are.

Here we go.

1. Their trash-and-crash havoc makes you want to start a one-man/woman moshpit from the moment it erupts from your stereo. So far they released 3 stunning uppercuts that grab you by the throat without asking. Check them on Spotify.

2. They get in the ugly faces, with sharp-teethed panache, of male machos,
LGBT-phobics, and all other intolerant scumbags. Watch your back LADS.

.
3. Sonically they combine the sassy spirit of riot grrls Bikini Kill, the biting bitchiness of Courtney Love, the primal screams of X-Ray Spex‘s late genial vox Poly Sterene , and the unbridled DIY mentality of The Slits.

4. Live, as I witnessed, last Saturday in my hometown of Ghent (Belgium) LG are explosive punkettes with loudmouthed Phoebe Lunny more off than on stage interacting with the audience. These girls’ kick-ass bravado went (almost) through the roof. Their spunky swagger and their intrepid presence was flabergasting the whole set through.

5. As I experienced before and after the gig Lambrini Girls are for real, they’re big fun, they are totally open-minded, they’re great human beings and they like Belgian beer. Hail Hail!

An idea of their live puissance.
