Debbie Downers


Ok ok I'm super late with this one.
The Debbie Downers were a female punk band from Perth, Australia. They used to play some great fun and feminist punk, quoting Kleenex/Lilliput as an influence and 
yes there is a clear 77 female punk vice.


 Their only release is titled Eat My Skorts, a 6 tracks tape, and got out in 2018. 
More fun and arty than your next-door female-fronted punk hardcore band,
it's a real pleasure to listen to the band make fun of the fashion industry 
(Practical Unfashionable), the married life (Bridal Dress), shitty jobs (Jobs (Nuts))
 or celibacy...

 After the demo they recorded 2 new songs which were supposed to be released on a Helta Skelta Records (THE Perth punk label) Compilation called Stranded in Orstralia (which never got out as far as I know). More garage in a low-fi way these two songs keep make fun of the aussie male dominated society, I mean listen to the hilarious Trackie Willy, a deeply political charge about sweatpants dick sightings.


The band doesn't exist anymore but Ashley, the drummer is now singing in the very good Cold Meat which I may write about next.


You can listen to the Debbie Downers on Rien à Faire #6.

N,J'Oi!
