Charmpit - Cause A Stir
California-via-London four-piece, Charmpit, deliver pop(star) punk in a queer, DIY “anarcutie” package. Through playful harmonies, sparkling guitar and to-the-point lyrics, they place a high value on friendship, the power of femme, and FUNctional social justice politics. Their debut LP Cause A Stir is a shining showcase of their hot couture & glittering vision.
Charmpit got their start in 2016 during the DIY Space For London’s ‘First Timers’ project (an annual series of workshops, skill-shares and first time performances that ‘celebrates demystification’ and pours fresh, diverse, new talent into the UK music scene). They are what ‘First Timers’ dreams are made of: releasing their first 7” Jelly on Keroleen Records in 2017, followed by the ‘Squirrel Away The Summer’ EP on Everything Sucks. Original members, Anne-Marie, Rhi (both originally from California), and Alex were later joined on lead guitar by Estella (Big Joanie). Three years and a 1000 miles of chiffon later, they are on fire, writing sweet sugar pop with hot cheeto punk sensibilities that radiates joy and a fierce sense of justice.
"The message is powerful, and the tune is unforgettable... less lo-fi than before, without losing any of their DIY-essence" - For The Rabbits
“Sparkling fuzz, jangly, shimmering hooks and luscious honey-sweet harmonies" - Get In Her Ears
