WITCHES OF THE WEEK #19: VAGINA WITCHCRAFT

 


1- Where is the band from and what's the best thing to do there?

Vagina Witchcraft is from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The best thing to do here would have been going to local shows, but that hasn't been an option because of the pandemic :( So instead I really just listen to my record collection at home which is constantly growing these days! :)

2- What does your band name stand for and what was the runner up?

The band name Vagina Witchcraft stands for power, and just owning who you are outright with no shame. Vagina as a word is often associated with weakness or being timid or scared and we aim to change that. One of the runner ups for band name was Aminatu, named after Queen Aminatu, a powerful 16th century African warrior queen.

3- Describe your sound using a movie title.

X-Men ?

 

4- What song would describe each member of the band?

Kayla - Oppressor - Jesus Piece
"I refuse to bite my tongue, the revolution has begun, I refuse to die next. Lift your boot from my fucking neck."
Dylan - Ergophobia - Psychedelic Porn Crumpets
"Fuck this, I quit!"
Seppel - Eyes Like The Sky - King Gizzard & The LIzard Wizard
"The bad, white men call him the devil. The Yavapai call him 'Eyes Like the Sky'"
 Julien - Accidents - Alexisonfire
"Do they even cure you? Or is it just to humour us before we die?"

5- Name 3 bands who would headline your dream fest?

Dream festival headliners... Missy Elliott, Every Time I Die...and Bon Iver

6- Your opinion on being described as "female fronted"?

I think its bullshit when the band is described as female fronted! Mainly because I AM NOT A FEMALE, I am non-binary. GENDER IS NOT A GENRE.

7- Are you signed on a label and why?

No we are not signed on a label. We have discussed pursuing it, especially when we were planning our tour in spring of 2020. Once that all got cancelled, we turned our focus solely on creating and releasing music independently.

8- What's the most punk thing you've seen on tour/in a show?

The gnarliest thing I saw at a punk show was someones earlobe getting ripped off . It was really gross. But let's remember that really, its punk to care

9- The best album of all time and why?

In my opinion, the best album of all time is New Junk Aesthetic by ETID. When i first Bufallo666, it like, awoke something in me.

10- What's the best way to support your band?
The best way to support VW is through our Bandcamp (vaginawitchcraft.bandcamp.com) where you can listen to the album, order merch like CD's Tshirts stickers or digital copies of the album. Follow us on Instagram @vaginawitchcraftband to keep updated with all the new stuff we are going to be working on!

2020: HEAR THEM ROAR

Band: Dream Nails / Photographer: Jeroen Jacobs The year 2020 was probably off to a good start for many of us. The prospect of new music, new shows, new ways to kick doors down and share art that means a lot to us, was promising once again. Then, around mid march, it all came to a stop. The whole industry was placed on hold while new ways of doing things were put in place to take care of everyone around us. It didn't stop us from being heard though. It didn't take long for independant medias and artists to get the ball rolling again. After all, most of us have been doing it ourselves for so long. We were up for the challenge.  Eventually new music was recorded, virtual events became a thing, and through online communities, voices have been heard. We are proud to say that it ended up being a good year for women and marginalized artists. We have discovered so many great bands, have seen so many amazing events being organized, and most of all, we've seen all of you getting tog...

ENTREVUE AVEC SPIRULINE

Photo: @harshivvvv Spiruline est un groupe riot hardcore de Paris qui vient de sortir son tout premier EP, "Up To Task", alors notre collaboratrice Astrid a profité de l'occasion pour en savoir plus sur le groupe, et surtout ça ressemble à quoi être un groupe qui s'affiche haut et fort comme féministe, en France en 2024. Propos recueillis par Astrid (@brigid.astrid) ---- -- - Quelles sont les principales influences musicales et idéologiques de votre groupe ? D'un point de vue musical, nos influences sont assez variées. On a clairement toustes un passif avec les sous genre du métal qui finissent par -core. On a toustes grandi en écoutant ce type de musique. Nous nous sommes toustes rencontré.e.s au sein des milieux militants de gauche et de la scène contre-culturelle parisienne punk et hardcore. Alors en ce qui concerne Spiruline, on a voulu s'inscrire dans ce milieu là. On aime le hardcore car c'est une scène qui s'est construit en portant des message...
