Adelaide indie-pop act Germein have released a fantastic new girl power anthem, “Good for a Girl.” It gives voice to the struggle that these sisters have faced being an all-female band in the music industry. As you can expect, the vocals are next level. I love the way the fresh beat complements the classic guitar line. This is really good stuff. And yes, not just good for music produced by a female act!
“I went into a music shop to buy drumsticks, and the guy behind the desk asked me if I was buying them for my boyfriend,” Clara shared.
Georgia recalled the band’s first soundcheck on a national tour when “It was as if we’d surprised the sound guy when we started playing, like he expected us to be bad. At the end of the show, he said to us that we were actually pretty good for girls.”
“We wanted to write a song that would help tackle these stereotypes, and give a voice to anyone who might be going through a similar experience” added Ella.
“It’s about giving girls an equal playing field, and not discriminating based on gender” confirmed Clara.
Germein have a couple of gigs coming up, including a festival tomorrow! Check them out at the following events. Hopefully there are more to come!
