Punk rock band with Kildare links launches new single 'BODY'
Orchid Feeder is co-led by Naas native Jo McHale and also features Nurney-based guitarist Steven Brien
If you are in a punk rock band, the unspoken rule is to be as provocative, hyperactive, non-conforming — and of course — as fun as possible.
And if the catalogue of Orchid Feeder is anything to go by, then it is safe to say that particular outfit has those traits in abundance.
Orchid Feeder, which is led by dual vocalists Jodie 'Jo' Mac Chéile / McHale (who hails from Naas) and Nancy Kate Murphy, is a self-described 'Dublin Riot Grrrl' act (Jo is also the lead singer of a separate punk-rock band called Blokor).
Previously, the band, which also features Aaron Kennedy and Steven Brien (who hails from Nurney) on guitars, Nathan Flanagan on drums and Michael Hogan on bass, released a five track Extended Play back in August titled 'Men'.
Fast forward around nine months later, and the rockers are back on the scene with a brand-new tune that serves as an unapologetic anti-misogyny and pro-feminist anthem reminiscent of the Courtney Love fronted-Hole with some blackened sprinkles of The Runaways.
Explaining the meaning behind 'BODY', the band posted the following video to its official Instagram page:
'BODY' by Orchid Feeder can be streamed on popular music streaming platforms such as Spotify, Bandcamp and YouTube Music.
Just don't blame us if your neighbours give out to you for blaring this banger!
