Kicking off 2025 as they mean to go, Manchester punks Loose Articles are delighted to reveal their new single ‘Guitars, Cars, Knickers and Bras’ which is set for release on 14th January 2025. The track is the latest to be taken from the band’s long-awaited 2024 debut album, Scream If You Wanna Go Faster, released last year via Alcopop! Records.

Commenting on the track, the band say: “Skimmed off the top of shallow chitchat—‘I only watch blokes play guitar, women in knickers and bras’, over and over, and over—‘Guitars, Cars, Knickers and Bras’ was plucked from a workplace conversation about women in music, scrawled across the pages of the ‘Workplace Misogyny Diary’. The track points to the collective issue of not being taken seriously as a female musician, which is something we as a band have all experienced: ‘Are they your dad's records?’, ‘Is that your boyfriend’s guitar?’, ‘You're pretty good, for a girl’. Disillusioned sexism channeled into an anthemic sardonic chant; Guitars, Cars, Knickers and Bras, all the essentials.”

Recently winning themselves coveted, high profile support slots with the likes of New Order, Foo Fighters, The Lovely Eggs, and Gang of Four, the quartet are proudly presenting an alternative touring model with their own run of headline dates early this year.
