Band Spotlight: Muncie Girls - The Clothes Maiden

Having already been touted as One To Watch in 2016 by a whole host of esteemed publications, Exeter’s Muncie Girls have unveiled another new track from their forthcoming debut album ‘From Caplan To Belsize’. ‘Balloon’, as vocalist Lande Hekt explains, “is supposed to have a different feel than the rest, in that it is somewhere between reflective and hopeful. But basically it’s about a breakup.“ The much-anticipated full length will be released on 4^th March, 2016. Muncie Girls have also announced a trio of headline shows in March in celebration of the record. Performances in Exeter, Brighton and London will see the band tap a different supporting line-up for each date. These precede a stint on the road supporting Tellison in March / April.

Born in punk shows and dive bars to three driven teenagers in 2012, Muncie Girls embodies the classic punk rock story in a modern context. Fueled by discontent and anxiety, they eloquently address issues of modern living as a self-aware young adult. The result is an ambitious and poignant rebellion against social norms that touches on everything from politics to interpersonal relationships.
