Exploding onto the scene, Twat Union are a new feminist punk band who are not afraid to speak their minds in the best way. Their hilariously outrageous debut single “UTI” is out now.
This all female seven-piece combine influences from the Riot Grrrl era with current punk trailblazers such as Dream Nails and Lambrini Girls. With wild, immersive gigs involving their distinctive provocative humour, the band don’t shy away from talking about things like period sex, thigh chafe, and the focus of this debut single: UTIs.
Talking about the single, front woman Kate Mac elaborates, “People don’t talk about UTIs very much, but most of us have had them, and most of us hate them (no kink-shaming if you like them but we would love to hear from you if you’re actually a fan). And if you don’t get them, we guarantee you know someone that does.
This song is for everyone to shout, laugh, cry, and generally express your anger about female and non-binary medical problems (we know some men get them too) and maybe we can change the narrative around when and how it’s ok to talk about issues down there.”
Twat Union have recently dropped the fun-filled new video for the single, which is definitely worth a watch, but maybe go to the toilet first… Kate elaborates, “This video is a love letter to anyone who has suffered hours and hours on the toilet with a UTI, ending up doing the weirdest things, downing more cranberry juice than is humanly healthy, and wondering if maybe it was just thrush all along.
We had a wild time making it, covering JazzLiveSe5 with condoms, popcorn, cream and antibiotics (then clearing it up again) and we hope you love it and that you don’t have to actually relate to it any time soon. Stay hydrated and always wee after sex…”
