New York riot grrrl punk band Spite Fences play The Ferret on Fylde Road.
Spite Fences play The Ferret on Thursday 15 July, their first Preston date since coming over from the US. They're a New York riot grrrl band who wear the label proudly, and the sound they bring is feminist, women-forward DIY punk: shout-along choruses, driving drums, and distorted guitars. It's confrontational, but built for the crowd to yell back, so if you're the type who likes to sing along rather than just stand there, this is exactly the kind of set you'll want to be in the middle of.
They've spent their time gigging steadily around the small rooms of Manhattan and Brooklyn, and that's where the energy comes from. The whole thing is rooted in the DIY punk tradition — raw, loud, and meant to be shared with the room rather than just listened to. It's the kind of show that works best when you're close enough to feel the drums in your chest, and The Ferret is just the right size for it.
