Petrol Girls

Petrol Girls are a feminist post-hardcore punk band, originally formed in London, now based in Austria. The band are strong advocates of freedom of movement, anti capitalism and intersectional feminism. Rooted in a DIY music community that has always combined politics with punk rock, Petrol Girls are part of a counter culture challenging mainstream values like nationalism and the gender binary, and the oppressions that these ideals promote. With a diverse range of influences such as The Slits, Fugazi and Björk, and having had the pleasure to support bands such as The Dead Kennedys, Propagandhi, La Dispute, Thrice and Refused, the band are constantly developing musically as well as politically.
