Crank up your speakers and then press play. Worm Girlz’ latest single “Cool Girl” demands to be played loud. It’s a fierce, frenetic rocker that is bound to put a smile on your face and your fist in the air. If this is the new wave of grrrl power, I’m here for it!
“We wrote ‘Cool Girl’ as a call to action to hold your mates responsible and call them out when you witness inappropriate behaviour,” explained vocalist Lauren. “Again and again we’ve had to sit and listen while people we know attempt to justify the manipulative, discriminatory, or even abusive acts of their shitty friends and there’s not much more we can take, so we channelled our upset and frustrations into writing this song. We urge listeners to raise the bar by being better bystanders and speaking up in abusive situations or else the consequences can be deadly.”
Worm Girlz recently declared on social media that 2024 is the Year of the Worm, and with strong tunes like this in their arsenal it’s hard to disagree!
