The band’s name is inspired by the hysteria which accompanied the witch trials in Salem, Massachusetts, and Europe, which the band have long considered were a means to belittle, suppress and diminish women.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“There’s a big emphasis on female empowerment and female anger,” says bassist Alex of the message raging behind the band’s music. “It’s about celebrating yourself and self-expression. Not being stifled and held back.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReincarnate, which was recorded at Orgone Studios in Woburn, with producer Jaime Gomez Arellano, explores those incendiary topics. Lead single Reincarnate is an anthem of post-breakup independence, set to Sabbath-esque graveyard doom. In The Resurrect is a visceral squall about celebrating identity and being a “bad ass bitch”. Abject tackles sexism the band have encountered during live shows, while Bully Boy is a steel toe-capped boot to abuse of male power, which considers the concept of God within a patriarchal system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Growing up I went to a church and it was orthodox, shitty and a bit of a weird place,” explains Amy. “When I was 16, I left and then my family left after me. Some of my lyrics are about that, it’s about coming away from a trauma and knowing that you’re powerful despite that.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“She takes biblical sayings and turns them on their heads,” says Alex of her bandmate’s lyrical approach.” It’s playing around with power constructs in society, religion and life and flipping it on its head.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWitch Fever are: \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAmy Walpole: Lead vocals\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlex Thompson: Bass and backing vocals\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlisha Yarwood: Guitar\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnnabelle Joyce: Drums\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlready amassing support from NME, Clash, Louder Than War, and Fred Perry Subculture, Witch Fever’s modern punk should put them firmly on the radar of fans of Idles, Fontaines DC, Dream Wifeand Show Me The Body, bands who are also pushing noisily for social change. And in 2021, the band are set to take their new music and the white-hot energy of their relentless live show on the road. They’ve been announced as support, along with Porridge Radio and Girl Band, for Idles on their European tour as well as the first Brixton Academy show.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40404091011228,"sku":"19439908651","price":13.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/witchfeverep2.png?v=1626273393","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/witch-fever-reincarnate-ep","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
