Razor Cunts
Recipe: Add The Raincoats, Lydia Lunch, Miranda July, Bikini Kill, Yoko Ono, X Ray Spex, ESG and Mary Poppins and mix in a blender for roughly 25-30 years. Then spice with cellos and stripes and dirty words and drums and distortion and love.
Razor Cunts are a two-piece riot grrl punk band, starring Ambika Thompson (cello, drums, vocals) and Jane Flett (cello, tambourine, vocals). Their debut EP Chickmeat is out now, with songs about menstruation, Jupiter's moons, and making out with Frida Kahlo. When they're not making distorted noises come out of classical instruments, Jane and Ambika like to write award-winning stories, host queer events, and film music videos in children's playgrounds. Ambika used to be in the Anna Thompsons and Jane used to be in Fueldiva, but now that they've found their kindred cello spirits, everything is better, and they've vowed only to play in all-cello bands from now on.
