"What seems real is that people have both more entitled expectations of femmes' time and ears, and of femmes being perfect. Expectations run high that you are either a magic mommy who fixes everything perfectly and infallibly and never says no, or you are a shit failure bitch who deserves every bit of rage thrown at you."
- Care Work (2019) by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, p. 218
lyrics
Every day
All I hear
Babies crying
All around
Where’s my mommy?
Mommy has everything you need
She’s gonna make it all ok
I’m your magic mommy
I’m here to help you grow
So patient, selfless, giving
Someone you barely know
Mommy
That’s not my name
You wear it out
I’m the failure shit bitch
Can’t meet your every need
Won’t let you waste my time so
You’re gonna watch me bleed
Mommy
I’m not your magic mommy
I’m not your loving wife
I’m not your precious daughter
Just living my own life
Body Pressure delivers a massive beast of pure feminist punk/hc energy. Don't mess with them, they sound aggressive and cruel towards a society that closes its eyes to the obvious domination of we-know-whom. More than the message (not hidden) behind the lyrics the music is pure blast! If you did not already please support this band by buying their tapes and prints. Fuck your system (and your biased laws)! Helhest
Knockout debut from a Buffalo, New York-based hardcore band who like their riffs sick, their drums fast, and their choruses sticky-sweet. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 28, 2024
The Minneapolis band add a horn section, a running surrealist allegory about walls, and an occasional nod to the elegiac to their electroshocked post-punk. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 4, 2024
