THE SOAPGIRLS 

new album 

“Society’s Rejects” 

August 25th

 

The SoapGirls proudly announce the release of their new album - the angry, reflective and beautifully honest “Society’s Rejects” on August 25th.

 

The perfect balance of attitude, swagger and raw rasping vocals - Societys Rejects, is full of straight up rock’roll songs - tons of energy, flashes of anger and serrated guitar-driven angst. Nothing can stop The SoapGirls inevitable rise to the top. 

 

Arresting and compelling Society Rejects encapsulates and distills perfectly The SoapGirls live energy and replicates perfectly the thrill of their live show.  The SoapGirls uncompromising brand of music has been labelled “Revolt Rock’, a mix of revolting and revolutionary music. “Put it this way if music was a hand, revolt rock would be the middle finger, it’s there to piss people off make them think in this fucked up world.”

 

“Stand up, you know you’ll be shot down, life’s free but you’re gonna pay somehow” sings Mille on the opening title track, setting the tone for the whole album about society and how it “rejects anyone that tries to question the system. We are sold a dream of being free when in actual fact we’re not, if you do not conform and follow the guidelines society sets out for you you are vilified and rejected”

The energetic and diverse Society’s Rejects is full of finely crafted songs and rock’n’roll attitude. With unforgettable melodies and catchy choruses, the fifteen musical nuggets on the album include previous singles as bonus tracks: the primal and emotional break up song Rather Be Dead and the Bad Bitch, a caustic slice of vitriolic rock’n’roll. 

The SoapGirls also “bring humour to the situation with Party in Hell, life’s already fucked up so might as well rock the party however you like, the politicians are so why cant we?”

 

Society Rejects is “a kick in the face followed by a kiss, it’s raw dramatic angry and passionate with warped humour thrown in” and finds The SoapGirls at their full creative tilt delivering frenetic garage rock with heavy and psychedelic overtones with a modern twist.  Armed with a venomous swagger and catchy, riff-oriented guitar grind, backed up by their strong songwriting abilities, dedication and determination to their craft, The SoapGirls have earned them a formidable live reputation and this raucous force of nature with a love for screaming guitars, in your face bass, and raw vocals have delivered a statement of intent with their exceptional debut.

 

The striking artwork captures their vision and fights back for women rights “first of all society tells you to cover yourself and be ‘decent’ so in true SoapGirl fashion of course we weren’t gonna do that”.

Alluring, hypnotic and nonchalant The SoapGirls, the French born sisters Ca(Millie) and Noe(MIE) Debray, hail from South Africa and were given their name by the general public back in 2004.   “We’ve been The SoapGirls since we were 8 and 9 selling hand made soap and street performing for various causes, we did this 365 days of the year for 9 years”.  Displaced master musicians and political agitators - few can match the SoapGirls visceral sonic hypnotic beauty and soul.

 

Societys Rejects is a record from a band that have found their sound and is ready for the world to hear.  There’s always hope for a new dawn however dark the sky might seem!

Communique The SoapGirls ‘Party In Hell’ Tour /  May 15th 

 

 

 

 

The SoapGirls proudly announce the Party in Hell tour, which sees the band bring their unique brand of ‘Revolt Rock’ to venues across the UK, including  The Camden Rocks Festival on June 3rd and The Rebellion Festival in August.

 

“Society is already living in hell, they are taxed to death, becoming more constrained with government policies, senseless murders, terror attacks and the pc brigade.  So, we aim to bring the space where people are reminded that there is place for individual freedom, where the common ground is to let go, embrace the silly and forget the stresses of whats become a living hell for most. People need to make the most of what they have and not wait to die before living, one life, hell or not lets Party.

 

This tour we are pushing the message of standing up and not to be silenced out of fear of being rejected. In many ways we all have a reject side to us that we keep hidden in order to fit it, so we hope to encourage all who come to the shows to embrace that hidden reject and their individuality. If you are coming to a show for the first time be forewarned, there are little if any boundaries.   You might find our shows a little like that medicine your grandma tried to shove down your throat only to find that it wasn’t as distasteful as you'd imagined and you can’t wait for the next dose. We pretty much don’t really plan the shows too much as it’s as much about the crowd and the venue as it is about what does or doesn’t happen on stage. We love that every show is individual and some are themed, so, if you find yourself in a crowd dressed in nothing but waste and body stockings you know you are in for one helluva night, p.s. the music rocks just saying. See you there fellow Reject! love” Mille and Mie

 

The SoapGirls soon to be released new album Societys Rejects will be one of the most talked about releases of 2017 and will feature both Bad Bitch and Rather Be Dead , with 13 more songs of Revolt Rock.

THE SOAP GIRLS

debut UK single

BAD BITCH

& UK tour

 

 

 

The SoapGirls have just finished making the video for their debut UK release - Bad Bitch, a caustic slice of vitriolic Rock’n’Roll & you can order the download now from

 

The SoapGirls hailing from South Africa were given their name by the general public  “We have been The SoapGirls since we were 8 and 9 selling soap and street performing for various charities, we did this 365 days of the year for 9 years”

 

Bad Bitch was written 2 days after The SoapGirls were attacked in Hastings, resulting in a “very emotional and very raw” song. This unprovoked attack, involved sexist abuse and took place when The SoapGirls were performing live, with the perpetrators throwing copious amounts of red liquid over the band.  “We hated not being able to fight back and still suffer a lot of anxiety when we are performing as a result of what happened, I became slightly jaded and Bad Bitch was born after we decided we would never take shit from anyone ever again!!”

 

Bad Bitch sees the girls developing a recognized ‘sound’ with their ever-so-edgy vocals,  Mille’s heavy  throbbing bass lines and Mie letting rip with searing lead guitar work, creating an insouciant blast of filthy rock’n’roll.  

 

Proud and humble The SoapGirls are a force of nature who inspire anyone to “follow their dream and believe in themselves”.

 

The SoapGirls stand for freedom and non-judgement, fiercely outspoken for animal rights, society’s most vulnerable  and anti government policies they write straight from the heart with every song being a real experience, either with themselves or someone close.

 

“Be brave enough to be yourself always, we have only one life that we know of so Rock it and embrace it without losing yourself” - The SoapGirls

 

To see these girls perform live is a must.
