Lambrini Girls - Who Let The Dogs Out: review

 


If you've never heard the riot grrrl music this is a good modern place to start. Fans of Le Tigre, Huggy Bear, Bikini Kill, and The Runaways are probably already familiar with this 2025 release. Carrying the torch for riot grrrl sound into the next stage of music, Lambrini Girls are definitely up to the task. A few sub-genres exist in this album, of which include post-punk. Phoebe Lunny and Selin Macieira-Boşgelmez definitely hit a home run with this LP, and the proceedings singles. Bad Apple opens the record with a very punk filled sound and message that leads all the way through the album. Big Dick Energy being another Riot sound, formulated in the original fashion of the subgenre. No Homo lends to a social connectivity lacking in most modern countries, it seems. Nothing Tastes As Good As It Feels and You're Not From Around Here both have a noise rock tint to them with very punk lyricism. One can definitely hear the social commentary in this record and thankfully the message is not lost to boring instrumentation. Not to point out things people may not want pointed out, but, it is easy to tell both current members are neurodivergent. If you sample this sound, it may be rewarding to go backwards in their catalog until the next release.

Home Front Watch It Die:


 If you're a fan of hard-core punk or new wave this is a modern addition for both. Social commentary of modern international chaos and solid instrumentation for a new generation of fans, this is fairly straightforward. It's a little more relatable than their last record, but packs a very hard punch. Some of the lyrics in this outing are very interesting and important especially on an american level. "Dancing With Anxiety" is a standout point as is "Eulogy" as far as an example of thier sound. So many anthemic tracks on this, as chanting hooks and vocals are normal for this band. Terrific for fans of Singalong melody and rhythm. Lots of fun, even if the lyrics are poignant and pointed.
