Muncie Girls: Momentum
Born in punk shows and dive bars to three driven teenagers in 2012, Exeter trio Muncie Girls embody the classic punk rock story in a modern context. Fuelled by discontent and anxiety, they eloquently address issues of modern living as a self-aware young adult. The result is an ambitious and poignant rebellion against social norms that touches on everything from politics to interpersonal relationships. Ultimately, what sets Muncie Girls apart is vocalist & bassist Lande Hekt’s unique perspective and its impact on her understated lyricism.
Muncie Girls released their highly acclaimed debut album ‘From Caplan To Belsize’ on 4th March, 2016 via Specialist Subject Records in the UK. The record has received much attention and plaudits from the likes of Kerrang!, Stereogum, Rock Sound, Noisey, DIY, The Line of Best Fit & Punktastic. Muncie Girls were nominated for ‘Best British Newcomer’ at the Kerrang! Awards 2016 and ‘From Caplan To Belsize’ was included in The AV Club’s Best Music of 2016 with singles receiving plays on BBC Radio 1, Kerrang! Radio, Amazing Radio & Scuzz TV.
The band have been busy traversing the globe ever since the album was released, playing festivals such as Glastonbury, 2000trees, Groezrock, Download, The Great Escape and Reading & Leeds plus supporting the likes of Frank Iero, Los Campesinos!, letlive. and Taking Back Sunday in the UK and Europe. They’ve even performed at SXSW in Austin, USA and played as main support to The Hard Aches in Australia.
