issue, Bitch gives advice to young women interested in pursuing a career in the music industry, “Don’t stop. Don’t think that ‘sexy’ is your only way in. Don’t listen to everyone. Find your team. Follow your heart. Know yourself. Go for it.” She’s currently gearing up for her new album Bitch Craft, releasing in February 2022, and recently released the music video to her empowering single “Easy Target.” She dedicates the melodic song to being a woman and the power of speaking your truth.

Bands like Lunachicks and L7 inspired an entire generation of riot grrrls, making way for new generations of progressive female artists, and generations to come. We can’t thank
these women enough for pioneering the movement to achieve gender equality in music,
particularly in the alternative scene. Gritty In Pink wouldn’t exist without these women.”
