The co-ed feminist punks continue their crusade of music and activism through late October.

Activist punk band War On Women is a group that not only thrives onstage—the Shawna Potter-led outfit pummels everything in their path. The quartet are bringing a piece of their live show to screens everywhere with a new live video for their hook-laden track ‘Pleasure And The Beast’. Watch the video—shot and chopped by Seannie Cameras of Metrospective Media at Ottobar in Baltimore last April:

War On Women are neither a crew of young bucks nor a contagion of seasoned legends. They don’t fit neatly into metalloid machismo or hulking hardcore tropes. They have nothing to prove, and there’s nothing more delightfully dangerous than that. After releasing their sophomore LP ‘Capture The Flag’ in April 2018, the hardcore-inflected troupe have been spreading their message of equality and empowerment one song and one gig at a time.

With hundreds of shows and years of activism behind them, ‘Capture The Flag’ finds War On Women more dogged than ever. The album delves into injustices at both the macro and micro levels. Religious subjugation, gun violence, armchair activists, gender orgasm gap, female genital mutilation, the fetishization of motherhood, and toxic relationships—no breed of oppression defies War On Women’s purview. Recorded with J Robbins in Magpie Cage Recording Studio, ‘Capture The Flag’ finds the band in their sonic wheelhouse, wedged somewhere between rebellious and rousing.
