Couldn't they change it to boy band?
It sounds like some sort of parody that explanation and I still don't get it. People complained to them about their name and they folded faster than superman on laundry day?
Girl band sounds like the perfect name, unless faggy twat band was taken.

The gas thing is that everyone, even those partaking in this sort of behaviour (maybe those people especially), know that the "victims" of this supposed word violence are acting. And the likes of Girl Band making heartfelt hand ringing apologies are acting too. It's all a big meaningless game where there really are no victims or perpetrators, but let's all just play along anyway. When will these spineless pussies start to stand up to this rubbish.

Defo. Every day there are some poor, bewildered thought criminals wheeled out to apologise for whatever protected species they have offended. Not a hope any of them believe the claptrap they come out with.

Had to hand it to John McEnroe, several commissars tried to get him to apologise for saying Serena Williams would be ranked 700th in the men's classification and he refused. A drop compared to the oceans of ghouls scared to death of the stench of whatever phobia or ist they are at risk of being labelled as.

The thing is, he's probably right. The two Williams sisters once said they could beat any man who was outside the top 200. There was a German fella who was ranked 203rd and took them both on one after the other and he beat them both.
Granted it wasn't a full game and they weren't taking it seriously but the did comment how the sisters were firing shots that would have won them a point against a woman and he was returning them back to them with ease.

Could be counter productive in that you'd be embarrassed to listen to them.
Be better listening to a proper girl band

Silly alright changing the name. No need at all. As to if they're any good. Seen them twice. They're fucking brilliant live.

Funny how that rag's motto is "Democracy dies in darkness", yet it has no problem running an article saying the elites should have a bigger say in electing presidents...

Have never been able to get through a full Girl Band album but love some of their tunes. This is utterly pathetic, pointless and embarrassing. There was another Belfast post punk band with a similar name as well.

Edit: Most comments on their instagram are their fans confused. One trans person saying that using that term misgendered is in itself offensive. hahaha. It never fucking ends.

Girls Names are the Belfast band. More traditional post punk and really cool from what I've heard.

On the plus side, I'm glad I never paid attention to this so called post-punk revival going on in Ireland at the minute, between these lads and Fontaines DC pretending to be working class, I think I'll still to post-punk that was made by goths.

Do GB pretend to be working class? A tall ask. Fountaines DC are total spoofers. Can't see the appeal at all.
