Girl Friday – Androgynous Mary For Cheap

Burning deep in Girl Friday s music is an unquenchable will to survive. The LA-based band don t blunt the impact of the themes they work through in their ferocious, knotty rock songs, but they don t let the more harrowing aspects of being alive and young in the 21st century daunt them, either. Taking full advantage of the dystopian shades of post-punk and noise rock palettes on their arresting debut LP, Androgynous Mary, Girl Friday nevertheless suffuse their music with abundant optimism. The world is a hellscape, but the four of them are in it together. Written during a year of personal struggle for all four band members, Androgynous Mary reflects the solace they took in each other – as a band, but also as a micro-community and a chosen family.
