RADICAL KITTEN is a queer and feminist Toulouse-based band, formed in 2018 by Marion (drums), Iso (guitar) and Marin (bass, vocals). Having previously released a 3-track demo, âContre-nature Hanâ, the kittens have built a solid reputation as a live band in the South of France. Influenced by post-punk, noise and rrriot punk, their sound is tensely drawn between incisive riffs and chanted vocals. âSilence is Violenceâ is an ambitious debut album, full of rage against social violence, dealing with transphobia, homophobia or sexism. Today, weâre giving you the first listen of the albumâs opener called âWrongâ! Check it out below, along with an astounding artwork by Anne Careil and upcoming live schedule of gigs planned for this coming October.
Silence is Violence is out on October 16th on tape & digital on Hidden Bay Records, AB Records, Seitanâs Hell Bike Punks, Tomaturj, 12â vinyl through Araki records, Attila Tralala, Domination Queer Records, Gurdulu, La Loutre par les cornes, Mon Cul câest du tofu, Retratando Voces, Stonehenge Records and Uppercat Records.
âRadical Kitten are the new riot grrrl post-punk sensation in France, with their demo âContre Natura Hanâ hitting up the scene thanks also to their NOTS space hit âFull Circleâ, as well as the punk on the vocals, with a direct reminder to Cocaine Piss or Rong. â Retratando Voces
