Chorusgirl make 60s pop music distilled through 80s new wave. It’s Shangri-Las meet Bangles and Blondie, who then go on to meet Breeders and Best Coast. A heady, shimmering blend of noisepop and melody, stealthily subverted by something darker, “like a sunny day viewed through a storm cloud” (NARC mag). Signed to beloved indie labels Fortuna Pop and Reckless Yes, they released three indie pop albums and have played shows and festivals in the UK, US and all over Europe.
“jangly with just a little surfy twang” — Brooklyn Vegan.
“one of my favourite bands of these last few years” — Get in Her Ears.

Fightmilk create sweaty, loud, shouty pop songs. They have shared the stage with Johnny Foreigner, Mclusky, Desperate Journalist, Art Brut and Skinny Girl Diet (amongst many others) and toured Germany and the UK extensively.
The London based four-piece released their debut album Not With That Attitude in 2018 via Reckless Yes, gaining a fan in Steve Lamacq and John Kennedy (BBC 6Music) as well as praise from Echoes and Dust, Drowned in Sound, and Louder Than War Magazine, appearing in many end of year picks. Fightmilk’s 2021 sophomore album Contender was a marked step forward for the band, blending acerbic lyrics and riffs galore to make a record chock full of high energy heartbreak and pop songs to make you and your parents dance. They’re currently preparing to release their third album, which deals with diet culture, death, and dog bites.
