In the realm of American girl punk, Drama Girls unveil their latest opus, 'Sometimes You Gotta Be a Bitch.' This sonic tapestry evokes the spirit of a rebellious age, where the enigmatic Japanese band 'Jungles!!!' and the iconic Bangles find a crossroads. With an unwavering attitude and a refusal to compromise, Drama Girls deliver pop punk with an unmistakable edge.
In a world where conformity often reigns supreme, Drama Girls emerge as defiant renegades. Their music dances to the beat of its own punk heart, a fusion that defies conventional categorization.
'Sometimes You Gotta Be a Bitch' is a musical eruption, a sonic hurricane that harkens back to the audacious spirit of 1978. It's a track that balances raw, unbridled fury with a thundering rhythm, all while harmonies cut through the chaos like a clarion call. Drama Girls storm onto the scene with an anthem that not only quickens the pulse but also inspires movement, reminding us that sometimes, embracing that inner "bitch" is a testament to unapologetic self-expression.
As the band put it:
“It’s an expression of female power in times of adversity. And, well, sometimes you just have to be a bitch.”
