Politically charged pop punk from West London that IS suitable for vegans
"I'd change the world/ one person at a time" sings Jennifer Doveton on Shut, the opening track from the band's debut album I Thought It Was Morning.
More than just lyrics, they serve as a mission statement for Colour Me Wednesday (completed by Harriet Doveton and Carmela Pietrangelo), a band who describe themselves as feminist, left-wing vegans.
Their songs tackle everything from all-powerful carnivores- (I'm Not Coming To Your) BBQ- to right-wing boyfriends- Purge Your Inner Tory- through the medium of 3 minute slices of upbeat pop punk.
Citing Kate Nash and Best Coast as influences it's easy to see why the West Londoners are making waves both here and across the pond, having toured the East Coast of America in support of their most recent album, a split with Washington DC's Spoonboy, before returning to our shores to support fellow Riot Grrrls Kate's Party.
It won't be long before they've converted the whole world, one person at a time.
