Following on from last month’s manic hit, ‘WARZONE‘, Sydney alternative/pop punk act Stand Atlantic are back with their second release of 2024.

 

Enter the unapologetic and edgy track ‘GIRL$’, also featuring PVRIS vocalist Lynn Gunn and Mexican alt/rock musician BRUSES. Together, the three leading ladies are a superforce leading charge for women and queer women everywhere.

 

This empowering orgasmic earworm marks the massive step into Stand Atlantic’s fourth era, WAS HERE out August 23 through Hopeless Records. STAT’s vocalist Bonnie Fraser has a special message for you about this incredibly upbeat single:

 

“i feel like the message of the song speaks for itself, i wanted to show my appreciation for women and personally, my experience growing up knowing i was attracted to women but still feeling like i had to fit the mold of the male gaze, just based on the way i was influenced by a male dominated society. i hope other queer women and women in general resonate with this track, but also anyone in between. i wrote it for anyone who’s ever felt squashed by the strange and subtle pressures society can place on young people based off old as shit paradigms.

that being said, having lynn (pvris) and amalia (bruses) on this track made it so much more meaningful to me personally. both female, queer and talented artists i respect so much. making this music video was a friggen gas, me and lynn both had the same idea independently of each other when she agreed to be on the track – ‘lets be old ladies’. im sure ppl expected us all to be selling sex and queer baiting the shit out of this – so we did what any rap video would do, but as old ladies.”

 

‘GIRL$’ is a sign that Stand Atlantic are officially leaders of all things alt/pop and there is more to come when their fourth LP, WAS HERE drops this August. With an epic tracklisting of fifteen tracks (including a collaboration with Australian metalcore legends Polaris), we’re foreseeing yet another killer record for the band.
