The Shitfits Collateral Damage LP
From the very first second, this record comes at you strong and clear. They’re poppy and high-energy with a female vocalist. I’ll be honest, I had a much different assumption about this band based only on their name and album art. Something about it made me think this was going to be a super-serious, political street punk band. Certainly a style they could do; their song “Collateral Damage” is only seventeen seconds long and it feels even faster! Overall, they trend towards the themes of romantic relationships with a heavy resemblance to the band THIS IS MY FIST! But then there’s also songs like “My Right,” which is about abortion access and is fierce and angry, as it has every right to be! It’s a helluva anthem that screams about reproductive rights being taken away by men who will never find themselves pregnant. Then the very next song is about PMS!! That made me so happy to see. The SHITFITS are on the frontlines talking about feminist issues unapologetically. Plus, they have a song called “Opposites Attract” that is totally “Nazi Punks Fuck Off” with different lyrics.
