It’s this Trojan horse of wider appeal that will allow for War On Women to exact real and positive change. Their fight for women’s rights isn’t limited to just their albums – on 2017’s Warped Tour they ran daily workshops on bystander intervention and safe spaces – and it’s this passion that makes their music all the more compelling. The rawness, grit and tenacity is prevalent from beginning to end here, making for a genuinely exhilarating listen. Whether you like your music political or not, there’s no denying that War On Women are currently one of the most interesting punk bands around. Girls invented punk rock, not England.
Verdict: 4/5
