After releasing <i>\u2018Clever Girl\u2019<\/i>, the title track of their debut album, the direct references to \u2018white knights\u2019, \u2018mansplaining\u2019 and \u2018fuckboys\u2019 gained the quintet attention for their uniquely-femme perspective in their lyrics, which, unfortunately, seems to remain an alien concept in hardcore.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cFor a really, really long time, it\u2019s been straight white man\u2019s world, and the issues being talked about were just things that straight white guys were dealing with. And that\u2019s fine, that\u2019s awesome, I\u2019m glad that this music is an outlet for anybody, that\u2019s so important,<\/i>\u201d Lauren says of the music she\u2019s dedicated her life to. <i>\u201cBut as the world has gotten a little more progressive, I think it\u2019s important to have varying perspectives and not just straight white guys. But I don\u2019t ever want people to think that just because I\u2019m a woman in a hardcore band. I am necessarily speaking for all women. We\u2019re all different, we\u2019re all individual people and all have different perspectives,\u201d<\/i> Lauren explains.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Sharptooth &quot;Clever Girl&quot;\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zGofLyUD9us?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- more --><\/p>\n<p>Joining <b>Sharptooth<\/b> in 2014, Lauren explains that with her arrival came an input of aggression that wasn\u2019t there before, which resulted in the comparatively more accessible sound of the band\u2019s EP <i>\u2018Chompers\u2019<\/i>. <i>\u201cBefore I joined, Sharptooth was like a pop-punk easycore band, which is what you hear on the \u2018Chompers\u2019 EP. I pretty much told them that I wasn\u2019t interested in playing music like that and that I wanted to go heavy and aggressive because that\u2019s where my heart is in music.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;The stuff before I joined was pretty much straight up pop-punk, you know, boys singing about their ex-girlfriends, which is not my thing. But it was a group of people I really wanted to work with because I knew them from other projects, so I was like \u2018yeah, we can make music together, but it\u2019s definitely going to be heavier.\u2019\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>One listen to <i>\u2018Clever Girl\u2019<\/i> confirms the band unquestionably succeeded in going heavier, but most notably, despite the aggro fuelled songwriting, there\u2019s still enough hooks across the record that won\u2019t totally polarise fans of the \u2018easier\u2019 material that came before. For Lauren, this balance of controlled rage is an important way to deliver their message. <i>\u201cWith our message, we\u2019re all about connecting with people, so having people being able to connect to, and basically wanting to jam our songs is important to us,\u201d<\/i> she states. <i>\u201cI draw a lot of sensibilities from bands like Every Time I Die and Stick To Your Guns, who are both ruthlessly heavy, but also have catchy hooks and stuff and are just fun to listen to.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Though Lauren doesn\u2019t make it her mission to represent every woman through her music, hearing women tell her that <b>Sharptooth<\/b>\u2019s music represents them makes her realise how much of an impact her music can make. <i>\u201cHaving other women or other queer people or Jewish people telling me that, \u2018you represent me, and it\u2019s so nice to feel represented in this music\u2019, or, \u2018you wrote about something that I hadn\u2019t heard other people talk about before, and I related to it.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the coin, <b>Sharptooth<\/b>\u2019s message hasn\u2019t connected with vast numbers of people who have found their music via the internet. Their minute-and-a-half ripper<i> \u2018Fuck You Donald Trump\u2019<\/i> is a brash statement slamming the USA\u2019s Narcissist-In-Chief\u2019s profits-over-people policies and hateful rhetoric inspiring voters blinded by intolerance.<\/p>\n<p>However, a quick look at the song\u2019s YouTube comment section shows not everyone agreed with the message and offered criticism that wasn\u2019t exactly constructive. <i>\u201cI don\u2019t read any comments, because I know that I am a very empathetic and sensitive person, and it\u2019s not going to do me any favours because I know that the kind of people who are writing those comments aren\u2019t necessarily the kind of people I\u2019m going to align with,\u201d<\/i> Lauren remarks.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cWe\u2019re a band that is fronted by a woman, we have queer members in our band, I know how the world feels about women and LGBTQ people. I know that we\u2019re gonna get hate because that\u2019s the world that I exist in. I\u2019ve gotten hate for these things my whole life, so I\u2019m not going to indulge that kind of ignorance,\u201d<\/i> she continues. <i>\u201cIf people want to have a conversation with me about the content of our music, I\u2019d love that, I tell people at our shows all the time when we play \u2018Fuck You Donald Trump\u2019, I\u2019m like \u2018yeah, I fucking hate our President, if you don\u2019t, please come talk to me, I would love to understand your perspective.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;I think communication is the most important thing we can actually be doing, like face-to-face, person-to-person communication, instead of just shouting into the abyss on the internet, that\u2019s not helping anyone on either side.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Sharptooth &quot;Fuck You Donald Trump&quot;\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DACBVrFZm1g?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/alreadyheard.com\/staging\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The extra exposure <b>Sharptooth<\/b> has gained from joining Pure Noise Records has made Lauren realise the risks of projecting your opinion through your art particularly when it comes to politics. <i>\u201cI would have people come up to me after shows and say like \u2018oh you\u2019re so brave for talking about this\u2019 and I would say \u2018what are you talking about?\u201d<\/i> Lauren remarks, thinking about their first shows they played outside of their typically Liberal surroundings in Baltimore.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cTo me, I don\u2019t think saying \u2018fuck you Donald Trump\u2019 is that controversial because I don\u2019t even know anybody that likes that guy. But then, over half of the country voted for him, so clearly there are people who don\u2019t agree with me, and I guess living in a more liberal city, it\u2019s easy to get lulled into a false sense of security and think \u2018well, of course, everyone doesn\u2019t like Donald Trump.\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;That song, initially, we wrote it before he even got elected,\u201d<\/i> Lauren explains. <i>\u201cIt was written in 2016 as his campaign was taking place. It was written more in response to the Republican Party as a whole and all the messed up shit they said about queer people, and about women. And as the election process went on, Trump just kept coming out with more and more totally whack things and fronting on just about every marginalised group ever.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8220;But it is a risk to speak out, especially if you look at just how dangerous the world is right now. I have my own very deep-seated personal fears about how people will react to my music, or to my band and what they will do, or try to do. The world\u2019s a scary place right now, and I don\u2019t blame people for not saying more.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<h1 align=\"center\">\u201cIt\u2019s all about human connection and us sticking up for each other\u201d<\/h1>\n<p>Despite her deep-seated fears, Lauren understands the importance of using music and live shows as a platform to speak out about her experiences and issues, knowing that they might just connect with someone going through the same thing. <i>\u201cI talk about sexual assault at all of our shows, and if there\u2019s one person who tells us after that message has helped them, then that\u2019s all that matters,\u201d<\/i> Lauren declares.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cIt\u2019s all about human connection and us sticking up for each other. And it\u2019s scary sometimes, and it doesn\u2019t feel good sometimes,\u201d<\/i> she admits. <i>\u201cThere are days where I\u2019ve gotten onstage and thought \u2018I don\u2019t wanna talk about being raped\u2019. It\u2019s a hard thing to talk about let alone in a room full of strangers, but sometimes you just gotta bite the bullet and think \u2018there\u2019s somebody in this room who can be helped by that\u2019 and that outweighs my personal discomfort.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n<p>With its message of standing tall against adversity at it\u2019s heart, <i>\u2018Clever Girl\u2019<\/i> is an album that could inspire anyone who listens to it, whether it changes the perception of women and minorities in hardcore, or encourages more girls to start a heavy band of their own. Having gone through plenty of obstacles to get where she is now, Lauren is keen to spread that message as much as possible. <i>\u201cOne of my favourite things is when girls come up to me and say \u2018I wanna do that\u2019 and saying back \u2018You can!, You can!\u2019\u201d<\/i>, she states.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cWhen I first started getting into heavier music maybe thirteen years ago, I was in high school at the time and there was a friends band, who were like a post-hardcore, screamo band and they needed a vocalist, so I said \u2018hey, I\u2019m a classically trained singer, so I know how to sing, and I\u2019ve been teaching myself how to scream, can I tryout for the singer\u2019s spot?\u2019, and they were like \u2018nobody wants a girl singer, this isn\u2019t Avril Lavigne,\u2019 and I thought, \u2018well, guess I\u2019ll die.\u2019\u201d<\/i>, Lauren recalls, reflecting the stigma that surrounded women in heavy bands as recently as a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p><i>\u201cBut now I tell girls \u2018You can!\u2019 and everybody can,\u201d<\/i> Lauren proclaims, in the hope that no one else has to face rejection simply because of who they are.<\/p>\n<p>The face of punk and metal is changing, as the genre that prides itself on unity and diversity is now actually starting to expand on the diversity of people playing in bands without any stigmatised being attached to them, but for every new band with a female lead singer, there\u2019s still a show promoter who thinks they can use \u2018female-fronted\u2019 as a genre tag to advertise the band. Lauren knows there\u2019s a lot of work ahead in making hardcore more inclusive and if <b>Sharptooth<\/b> shows people that you can be a woman in a band, and not let that polarise them from any other band in the genre. <i>\u201cI\u2019d describe us as a co-ed hardcore band because we\u2019re about unity and all genders,\u201d<\/i> Kashen concludes. <i>\u201cIt\u2019s not just about me, it\u2019s about representation for everybody, that\u2019s why I like that moniker co-ed melodic metallic hardcore.<\/i>\u201d That tells you so much more than just saying <i>\u2018Female Fronted!\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>&#8216;Clever Girl\u2019<\/i> by <b>Sharptooth<\/b> is released on 27th October on <b>Pure Noise Records<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><b>Sharptooth<\/b> links: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SharptoothMD\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sharptoothmd\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twitter<\/a>|<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sharptoothmd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Words by Andy Davidson (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AndyrfDavidson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@AndyrfDavidson<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI think communication is the most important thing we can actually be doing\u2026 instead of just shouting into the abyss on the internet, that\u2019s not helping anyone on either side.\u201d \u201cA white knight is the kind of guy who, when I would be at a show, standing at the edge of the pit in a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":35703,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[62,15033,15021,696,695,66,689],"class_list":["post-980","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interviews","tag-already-heard","tag-andrew-davidson","tag-andy-davidson","tag-clever-girl","tag-lauren-kashen","tag-pure-noise-records","tag-sharptooth"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
