PUNXIE & THE POISON PENS – Bad Girl EP
TUESDAY, 07 DECEMBER 2010
(Independent)
Ballsy lead singer takes a feminine spin on cock rock
The lead singer of Punxie & The Poison Pens started her career as a comedian. Although the outspoken Punxie is now fronting the Brisbane band, the comedic influence is obvious in the group’s debut EP, Bad Girl. The subject matter is satirical, tongue in cheek, feminist and brazen. You also can’t help but notice her heavy Australian accent; it sounds a bit like Blinky Bill ditched Greenpatch and joined a rock band. A song title like My Pussy Is The Bomb tells you exactly what to expect. Punxie & the Poison Pens obviously aren’t afraid of being controversial, which is perfectly suited to their genre. It’s old school punk, before it became watered down and politically correct. Bad Girl is a guitar-driven, boat-rocking EP from a rowdy bunch of Brisbane musicians.
