(These lyrics are subject to change with every performance but here are the words for this recording x)
In this day and age you’re expected to be the perfect kind of woman
You better have a job, do the messages, have a husband/a wife, four kids, a house and a picket fence (ha ha ha)
In this day and age you’re expected to be the perfect kind of woman
And you’d better do it better than anybody else can
Keep your hands off my sister (keep your hands off), if you’d be so kind, mister
Keep your hands off my sister, you’re so kind
In this day and age you’re expected to be the perfect kind of woman
You better shave your legs, wear makeup, have the right figure, lots of brains and the perfect life (ha ha ha)
In this day and age you’re expected to be the perfect kind of woman
Then you’d better do it better than everybody else can
Keep your hands off my sister (keep your hands off), if you’d be so kind, mister
Keep your hands off my sister, you’re so kind
Oh, I’m sorry if I’ve been a bit down lately
I know it’s just the overwhelming amount of social oppressors that are crushing me every day, you know
But, ah, you know, it’s probably my own fault for just being a wee silly woman
But I can’t help just getting a wee bit angry about it
It just makes me, uh
It just makes me feel ah, ah, ah, AHHHHHHH!
Keep your hands off my sister (keep your hands off), if you’d be so kind, mister
Keep your hands off my sister, you’re so kind

Junk Drawer lead the pack, swerving into unsettling territory - I love this band's sheer unpredictability. I remember their gig at Output where they followed an excellent set by The Bonk. These guys are the cat's pyjamas! Ursula's Crow
This excellent EP swings from lurching post-hardcore to shadowy dark rock, anchored by a shattering vocal performance. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 20, 2018
Melbourne-based Slush's debut EP is filled with feminist, punky-pop tunes that make for an exciting introduction to their music. Bandcamp New & Notable May 10, 2019
This all-acoustic new LP from the London feminist punk group is just as scrappy, playful, and energetic as their electrified offerings. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 23, 2019
