Cut & Stitch collects together some of the in-betweens and afterthoughts of Petrol Girls' latest record of the same name, from the perspective of lead vocalist and lyricist, Ren Aldridge. In a similar process to speaking between songs on stage, Aldridge develops and contextualises the ideas and lyrics on the record, writing in and out of them, and making links between them. Through a series of mini-essays, she explores cutting and stitching as a way of thinking about topics such as community, the environment, building solidarity, resisting perfectionism, emotional labour, gender and craft.
REN ALDRIDGE is a vocalist, artist and writer. She is the front woman of feminist post-hardcore band Petrol Girls whose latest album Cut & Stitch was released May 2019 on Hassle Records. She is a regular writer for Ladyfuzz zine and her essay Touch Me Again And I Will Fucking Kill You: Cultural Resistance to Gendered Violence in the Punk Rock Community was published in 404Ink's award-winning anthology Nasty Women. Her art practice deals with language, bodies and overthrowing capitalism.
