Feminist punk group Cheap Perfume have delivered their new single “Woke Mind Virus” today.
The song, which can be heard here, is the first piece of music from Cheap Perfume since the 2021 releases of “TKO” and “No Men.” Guitarist/co-vocalist Jane No said this about the single:
“This song to me is kind of like the manifesto for the album. There have been a lot of radical changes in the world since our last release, so I thought it was important for us to come out with something bold. We wrote it in response to the inane ‘war on woke’ and people like Elon Musk demonizing empathy and saying that having compassion is weak. This song is a great gut check for the rest of the album … if you relate to what is being said here, I think you’re going to love the record. If it’s pissing you off, don’t care. Didn’t ask.”
Cheap Perfume will deliver their new studio album this fall. In July, the band will perform at Punk In The Park and Underground Music Showcase in Denver. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
