Known for crafting politically charged (and amusing) anthems, PUSSYLIQUOR’s music is a heartfelt nod to DIY punk and female empowerment. Their most recent release PUSSYLIQUOR. what of it. is a robust punk rock EP whose swagger and howling speak for itself. The first time you listen to its famed opener ‘Lady Wank’, your face might go red, and you’ll probably burst out laughing. Like the feminist quintet, their music is as fantastically wacky as they’re provocative.

The daring five-piece comprises of vocalist Ari Black, drummer Victoria Lewis Piper, bassist Tallulah Turner-Fray, guitarists Hannah Villanueva and Lucy Priddle. Having met in college while studying the same music performance course – and experienced the difficulty of being a young woman in education and music – they gradually became a support network for each other. Needless to say, PUSSYLIQUOR are now dedicated to reclaiming female agency and ridiculing antiquated behaviour under patriarchal law.

“The story of how we came together speaks a lot for our ethos. We wanted to make music that would make us feel empowered so that we could share that feeling to other people who may need to hear it,” said Ari Black. Recently, we’ve introduced some of our favourite female bands from Brighton and now we’re sitting down with Ari from PUSSYLIQUOR to find out more about the interesting stories of their musical journey.

The punk/riot grrrl PUSSYLIQUOR line up of Ari Black (Vocals), Victoria Lewis Piper (Drums), Hannah Villanueva (Guitar) and Tallulah Turner-Fray (Bass) met up around two years ago via their degree courses with Access To Music Brighton and bonded over a passion for hard-core music and even harder core feminist beliefs. With an average age of twenty years old – they have the no-nonsense and in your face approach that recalls the spirit and energy of Cosey Fanni Tutti, L7 and The Slits.
