Lambrini Girls: Who Let the Dogs Out review – stomps straight to the top of British punk’s table
Championed by Iggy Pop and riot grrrl royalty, the Brighton duo pile on the jagged riffs, scabrous humour and swearing for their politically charged debut
Iggy is so enamoured of the duo that he got them to collaborate on a version of Depeche Mode’s Personal Jesus that appeared alongside tracks by Andrea Corr and Rick Astley on a Trevor Horn-helmed covers album: improbable company in which to find a band whose first EP arrived in a sleeve featuring a pile of shit on fire. In place of the aforementioned litany of societal ills, the lyrics offer a list of positive actions and scrappy pleasures: if you wanted, you could view it as a kind of Brat-era successor to Ian Dury and the Blockheads’ beloved Reasons to Be Cheerful (Part Three). The track is called Cuntology 101, it uses the word “cunt”, or variations thereof, 32 times in just over two minutes and ranks among its list of life’s small delights getting semen on your clothes, “shagging behind some bins”, “having an autistic breakdown” and – congratulations, we have a winner – “doing a poo at your friend’s house”.
