Frightwig – We Need To Talk

Pioneering feminist punk band FRIGHTWIG has returned with their latest album, We Need to Talk… (Label 51 Recordings), plus a special bonus 7″ single dedicated to their late but forever-present drummer Cecilia Kuhn who transcended this earthly plane in 2017. Since forming in San Francisco in 1983, Frightwig has had two objectives: Spread joy and smash the patriarchy. For 40 years, they’ve succeeded on both fronts with a mix of in-your-face hardcore energy and a fearless activist spirit. A formative influence on the Riot Grrrl movement and beyond, the band embraces fellow freaks, sinners, and misfits – and the coven of Frightwig devotees has only grown larger and stronger with time. – Jeanne Fury, Writer and coauthor of “Fallopian Rhapsody: The Story of the Lunachicks” (Hachette Books, 2021)
