Rising post-punks Loose Articles<\/a><\/strong> have released alternative Euro 2020 anthem Kick Like A Girl<\/em>, which reminds us that football’s not just for men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The band’s third offering, its release was timed to coincide with the day the Covid-delayed tournament gets underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loose Articles<\/strong> are Natalie Wardle (vocals\/bass), Tree Nah (vocals\/guitar), Erin Caine (guitar) and Louise Rivett (drums).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four-piece from Manchester are a band who describe themselves as ‘feminine and threatening, working and class’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They self-released their debut EP Orchid Lounge<\/em> in 2019, which confirmed them as one of the most abrasive, exciting and talked-about bands in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signing to local indie label Dipped In Gold<\/a><\/strong>, they released their next single, the double A-side Up The Disco\/Buses<\/em>, in February this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After having their say on club culture and social anxieties on public transport, they are now tackling the narrow-minded mindset of some men towards women and football.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kick Like A Girl<\/em>, recorded at Brassica Studios, Mossley, was produced by Eoghan Clifford (Cabbage) and Chris Stockton (sound for Peter Hook, The Blinders and Cabbage).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A strident slice of post-punk which uses repetition and discord to good effect, it’s a two-fingered response to those who believe football is just for lads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It urges female fans: “Down ya Stella, and cop off with a fella, it’s football!” and is available on all streaming platforms now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
