PETROL GIRLS announce new album ‘Cut & Stitch’
Set for release 24th May via Hassle Records
UK dates including The Great Escape & Rough Trade Instores
An introduction to ‘Cut & Stitch’ from Petrol Girls’ vocalist Ren Aldridge:
“Cut & Stitch is a patchwork of different sounds, ideas
Feminism has become more of an overall approach than an obvious topic, seeping into the way we think about everything from the environment to mental health. We’ve also started to think more about what feminism means for men, given that half of the band are men, and explore the perspective of a man struggling with expressing his emotions in ‘Talk in Tongues.’
The majority of the lyrics were written in the studio. I was having a difficult time, unsure about where to live after we finished the record, and burnt out from a tough year of personal and legal challenges. Something that I’ve reluctantly allowed feminism to teach me is that we have to tend to our own
‘Cut & Stitch’ will be released on May 24th via Hassle Records, and will be available on 12” vinyl and CD. There are limited indie-exclusive and official store-exclusive vinyl
