THUNDERPUSSY [https://www.thunderpussyusa.com/] is more than a band;
they are a reckoning. As rock n' roll's new, self-proclaimed, Diamond
In The Muff... THUNDERPUSSY IS A SHINY BEACON OF GLITTER AND SEQUINS
AT THE END OF A LONG DARK TUNNEL OF MANUFACTURED MEDIOCRITY. If it's
pure titillating rock n' roll you want, then look no further than this
band of women from Seattle,Washington.The group unleashed its
self-titled debut, Thunderpussy [Stardog Records/Republic Records] in
2018 and snatched up over 4 million cumulative streams. In between
electrifying gigs coast-to-coast, they garnered widespread acclaim
from the likes of Paste, Rolling Stone, Billboard, LA Music Blog, and
NPR who claimed, “Thunderpussy is everything you want in rock.”
Simultaneously, a heated trademark battle over their name incited
national headlines as they clung to free speech, fighting for the
“power of the word ‘pussy’ and finally not classifying it as
vulgar or weak,” as guitarist, Whitney Petty, says.“I want people
to say, ‘Rock ‘n’ roll is not dead, and you don’t have to have
a penis to make it’.”
“This is another push for people to feel empowered,” adds
frontwoman, Molly Sides. “It’s not just for women, but for people
who feel like they’ve been pushed aside. We’d love for them to
feel more comfortable yelling our name out loud with a certain kind of
pride and excitement. We’re here to spark more conversation within
art and music. That’s the goal with everything we’re doing.”
