The Applicators – My Weapon

The Applicators is one of Austin, Texas’s pioneering all-female punk band, formed in 1999. In 2005, at the peak of their international touring career, their third and arguably most seminal album ‘My Weapon’ was partly produced and recorded in London, UK, then completed in 2006, back in Austin. Fast forward to 2026 – to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album, and after a long, sustained effort to obtain full ownership of their music, the band of forever friends is now releasing ‘My Weapon’ for the first time on vinyl. Fans of gritty melodic punk with hints of street punk and empowered riot grrl philosophies will instantly love the 11 tracks filled with nostalgic nod to 90’s catchy punk and roll that riff through the album, accompanied by undeniable honeyed, harmonic vocals, groovy bass licks, and slick, bouncy drums. ‘My Weapon’ will bring you to those moments of late nights of riding wild in cars with your friends, partying through heartbreak, learning to overcome loss and tragedy through friendship; the urge to start a band with your best friends to create, channel and express your emotions in a healthy way, to inspire others.
