Lambrini Girls Turn Blind Devotion into a Ferocious Punk Confrontation
Hailing from Brighton, England, Lambrini Girls are Phoebe Lunny (vocals/guitar) and Selin Macieira-Boşgelmez (bass)—or, according to the band's characteristically chaotic biography, a Brighton three-piece completed by “pseudonymous street artist and political activist Banksy” on drums. That deliberately ridiculous introduction captures the barbed humour surrounding a band whose music is considerably more confrontational. Following their 2025 debut Who Let The Dogs Out, Lambrini Girls return with “Bang Bang Bang,” a new single from their second album No Refunds, out January 15, 2027 via City Slang. Across the new record, industrial punk, angular basslines and flashes of pop immediacy expand their sound while maintaining the urgency and social commentary that established their reputation.
Bang Bang Bang: When Admiration Becomes Blind Devotion
“Bang Bang Bang” centres on a powerful figure who inspires radically opposing reactions. Phoebe Lunny describes its subject as a man who has been revered as both a Christ-like figure and the devil, allowing the song to examine the extremes that can develop around charismatic public figures without explicitly identifying its subject.
Musically, Lambrini Girls turn that contradiction into pressure. Angular bass, abrasive guitar and Lunny’s confrontational delivery propel the track forward, while the repeated title takes on an increasingly chant-like intensity. The Harv Frost-directed video places the band inside a dark, claustrophobic performance space that becomes progressively more chaotic, visually amplifying the song's volatile atmosphere.
Why It Matters: Punk Is Examining the Power of Devotion
Contemporary punk continues to confront a culture increasingly shaped by polarisation, celebrity worship, online communities and personality-driven movements. No Refunds widens that lens considerably: across its 11 tracks, Lambrini Girls address subjects including celebrity culture, AI, reproductive rights, the manosphere, fascism and war, while combining confrontation with the dark humour that has become central to their songwriting.
“Bang Bang Bang” captures one particularly striking part of that wider conversation: how the same public figure can become a radically different symbol depending on who is watching. Lambrini Girls don't attempt to resolve that contradiction. Instead, they transform the intensity surrounding devotion into punk energy, using repetition, aggression and discomfort to examine what happens when admiration becomes something much more powerful.
