Gen And The Degenerates release new music video for ‘Girls!’
GEN AND THE DEGENERATES have released a new music video!
The new music video, for the track Girls!, is taken from the alt-punk collective’s debut album, Anti-Fun Propaganda, which was released back in February, via Marshall Records.
Speaking about the song, and its accompanying music video, vocalist Genevieve Glynn-Reeves says, “my friend Lara passed away last year and was the life of the party. It was isolating going through the loss of someone who was such an influential part of your formative years without anyone else who knew her nearby.
Shooting the video was a healing process for me and an incredibly affirming experience. There was such an incredible energy on set. It was like we’d thrown the best queer-girl party ever. Her brother Matt Chandler came on board to direct the video. He’s an incredible director and included so many little nods to her in the video. We’re so lucky to work with him. It became a beautiful, joyful tribute to Lara, with her lovely friends and even her mum kindly coming to take part at Matt’s request.
Walking away from that video, I felt so inspired by the sense of community I’d felt; I knew it went beyond just me and my experience. Community can be healing and precious for all sorts of reasons. I wanted to do more with this ethos, and the next logical step felt like live shows. Live music almost instantly makes you feel like something bigger than yourself when done well. It was also a chance to champion some new artists I believe in. I am so excited about the acts that we’ve got supporting us. I hand-picked them myself and will proudly share a stage with them all.
With everything going on in a larger global sense, it is important to remember that our community should go beyond just those in our immediate vicinity. We want to donate the money we make from the show to the Malala Fund to help support education for women and girls worldwide.”
