C. punk scene, functioning as a supergroup of sorts with members tied to Priests and Downtown Boys.
Their sound identity is defined by a rigorous adherence to post-punk and no-wave traditions, specifically the jagged, rhythmic tension of late 70s acts like The Slits or ESG. Musically, they prioritize the rhythm section, with prominent, melodic basslines and staccato drumming that invite dancing despite the often abrasive textures. Their career arc is marked by a transition from raw, lo-fi beginnings to a more structured, though no less urgent, art-punk sound. Culturally, they represent the intersection of DIY punk ethics and intersectional political activism, with lyrics frequently addressing capitalism, gender, and labor. Critical consensus praises their ability to make intellectualized social commentary feel physically visceral. They occupy a specific niche in the 'Sister Polygon' label ecosystem, influencing a new wave of rhythm-forward indie rock that rejects the polish of mainstream alternative music.
