The Julie Ruin - Girls Like Us

Copied!

Girls like us like cotton candy
Plastic handbags alcohol
Girls like us sometimes ignore people on the street
Even though they’re people that we know
Girls like us sneak breaks at Wendy’s
And girls like us invented jazz
Girls like us have no foundations
Creation myths are so passé

Girls like us
Girls like us

Girls like us might flock to scandals
But girls like us don’t give a shit
Girls like us pick up the hot handles
And burn our hands and we get over it
Girls like us use highlighter pens
Especially to write our poems
Girls like us stand back to back
Just because you know we want to know

Girls like us
Girls like us

Girls like us eat salt for breakfast
Girls like us are good at that
Girls like us refuse to hang
License plates on our bedroom walls
Girls like us carry our passports
Just in case you know we have to go
Girls like us are most perfect
When we’re biting off all our fingernails

Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us

Girls like us use highlighter pens
Especially to write our poems
Girls like us stand back to back
Just because you know we need to know
Girls like us are maybe most perfect
When we’re biting off all our fingernails
Girls like us love the calm
Just before it starts to hail

Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us
Girls like us

edit bio

The Julie Ruin is a musical project formed in New York City in 2010 by the iconic feminist punk musician Kathleen Hanna. Known for her role as a founding member of the influential Riot Grrl band Bikini Kill and later as part of the electro-rock group Le Tigre, Kathleen Hanna brings her unique blend of feminist politics and punk attitude to The Julie Ruin.

With a sound that incorporates shouty vocals, synth squiggles, and catchy melodies, The Julie Ruin strikes a balance between Hanna's punk roots and her more recent forays into dance-focused music. The band's lineup includes Sandra Landeau on guitar, Kathi Wilcox on bass guitar, Carmine Covelli on drums, and Kenny Mellman on keyboards, alongside Hanna on vocals.

Together, The Julie Ruin continues to push boundaries and challenge norms through their music. With Hanna's powerful lyrics and dynamic stage presence, the band has carved out a niche for themselves in the indie music scene, garnering critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. The Julie Ruin's music is a testament to Hanna's enduring influence in the music industry and her commitment to using her platform to advocate for social change.
