Phoebe + Selin = Lambrini Girls. Lambrini Girls = energy times 1,000 and legendary gigs. In the vein of Amyl and the Sniffers, the two English women set every stage they grace alight with their garage-punk-grunge-rock – depending on the moment – which is as powerful as it is unsettling. The intensity carries over into their lyrics: often politically engaged, the duo make the most of shouting loud and clear about the causes close to their hearts.
Taqbir embodies punk in its rawest form: music that unites people whilst also serving as a weapon of protest against structures of power. The Moroccan band takes a head-on stance against patriarchy, hchouma and the racism faced by Arab communities in the West. Their first demo had a profound impact on an entire generation of young people, both aesthetically and politically. For Taqbir, a live performance is a genuine act of resistance.
