Twat Union have released their new single, Tiny Shorts, via Alcopop! Records. The theatrical feminist Punk sextet are known for their wild, immersive shows and trademark provocative humour, despite their on-stage antics, The Twats, as they’re affectionately known, don’t shy away from the important topics including, but not limited to: thigh chafe, urinary tract infections, and people assuming you don’t know how to tune a guitar because you’re a woman. Twat Union will be appearing at Cambridge Indie Pop Festival on the 15th November and London’s The Moth Club on the 17th November. Part Punk gig, part comedy show, Twat Union‘s gigs are fast becoming the stuff of legend, a chaotic punk experience unlike any other. There will be props, there will be line dancing, there will be shouting, there may even be a raffle (if you’re lucky).

“‘Tiny Shorts’ is our middle finger to all the cat calling and demeaning behaviour we receive if we choose to wear something that makes US feel good. Women should be able to wear whatever the hell they want, let it all hang out, and not be mistreated or disrespected. The song is also a pushback against the assumptions that are made about people based on the clothes they choose to wear. If you want to wear tiny shorts that make your bum look amazing while you have thoughts as big as your shorts are small—you can. It’s not a choice you have to make. ‘Tiny Shorts’ is a call to treat women with respect no matter what they are wearing.”
