Petrol Girls release music video for ‘Sister’
PETROL GIRLS have released a brand new music video!
The video, for the track Sister, is the new single from the band and taken from their upcoming EP The Future Is Dark, which is scheduled for release in September.
Speaking about the track, vocalst Ren Aldridge says, “I’ve been wanting for us to write a song about sisterhood for a long time, because it’s these relationships that have had the biggest impact on my life and that form the heart of my feminism. I’ve got two younger blood sisters and a few very close friends that I consider sisters, as well as our family dog Skye who passed away last summer but I loved her like a sister too. All of those relationships have taught me so much. They’ve guided me, taken care of me, made me laugh til I cry and nurtured me into better versions of myself. I think society often puts too much emphasis on sexual relationships when sisterhood is incredibly important and powerful. This song celebrates a relationship that can pose a real threat to capitalism and patriarchy because it challenges competition and is built on care and trust.”

Speaking about the title of the upcoming EP, which is named after a Virginia Wolf quote, Ren Aldridge says, “the dark, just like the future, is full of possibilities. It makes me think about how its only in the dark that we can see the stars and think about ourselves as just tiny parts of this cosmic system, as part of a bigger picture. I find it really grounding and inspiring to feel individually small but part of something huge.”
