Debut EP Don't Look It In The Eye Released 4th April 2025

April 2025 UK Tour Dates + Rebellion + Bearded Theory Festival Appearances

Feminist feral theatre-punks TWAT UNION return today with their new single ‘Red Flag’, a satirical take on their experiences in the modern dating scene, released 2nd April 2025 via new label home Alcopop! Records.

The track is the latest to be taken from their hotly anticipated debut EP Don't Look It In The Eye which will be released this Friday 4th April 2025.

Part punk gig, part comedy show, the band will be celebrating the EP release at one of their increasingly notorious live performances on 5th April at The Lexington in London—a chaotic punk experience unlike any other. There will be props, there will be line dancing, there will be shouting, there may even be a raffle (if you’re lucky).

Recently-announced UK tour dates follow throughout spring 2025, with festival appearances at Bearded Theory and Rebellion Festival already confirmed for this summer (see below for listings).

Commenting on the single, the London-based band said: “‘Red Flag’ is a song about all the dating nightmares we experience when, despite the warning signs, we just keep dating 'em anyway. We reckon there’s a bit of comedy in the contradiction there, so thought we’d write some music about it.”

“It was one of the first songs we worked on more collaboratively for the lyrics, playing the riff and going around the rehearsal room all saying different red flags we had encountered - some were ridiculous, some pretty dark, and we chucked in one from Winston Churchill just for good measure."

The EP’s lead single ‘Singer of The Band’ was released earlier this year to a rush of underground tastemaker support from Louder Than War, LOUD WOMEN, Get In Her Ears, Radio X, Amazing Radio, BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Ulster and many more.

Already touted as The Guardian’s One To Watch early this year after only one single (2023’s ode to the burning sensation, ‘UTI’), the self-proclaimed “angry girls” of Twat Union are all about creating spaces which are equal parts joyful, irate, empowering, and silly, allowing people to laugh and scream at the same time. We have it on good authority that their gigs are being prescribed to treat broken hearts, and they want to spread the Twat Treatment far and wide, priding themselves on having a fan base that spans generations, with devotees aged 4 to 97.

The theatrical feminist punk 6 piece are known for their wild, immersive gigs and trademark provocative humour. The Twats, as they’re affectionately known, don’t shy away from the important topics including, but not limited to: thigh chafe, urinary tract infections, and people assuming you don’t know how to tune a guitar because you’re a woman (FFS).

They sold out The Brixton Windmill, The Jago, and played Shambala and Loud Women’s 8th Birthday Party all before releasing any music, dropping debut single ‘UTI’ in 2023 complete with a feral toilet-themed music video. They have played at Rebellion Festival, Margate Pride and sold out The Vagina Museum, and  most recently headlined the iconic Old Blue Last in London.
