Track By Track: Sløtface - Sponge State EP

Norwegian pop-punk quartet Sløtface today (Friday 27th May) release their new EP ‘Sponge State’ via Propeller Recordings. It’s their first since being forced to change their name from Slutface due to “social media censorship” earlier this year; and it’s a call to arms. Here, the band talk us through the release track by track. You can also read Upset's 5* review here, or in our June issue (coming soon).

‘Get My Own’ is kind of our manifesto of some women’s issues that are important to us. It is a song about how women deserve more space than they are given. It also shows a sense of optimism because we feel things are getting better for women in the world, and more and more people are aware of and behind the feminist cause. The EP was recorded in two sessions with two tracks from each session. This one was part of the first session with Marius Drogsås Hagen and Marcus Forsgren, both in fantastic Norwegian bands Team Me and Bror Forsgren respectively. We spent a weekend with them wearing gold trousers, eating pizza and smashing guitars.
