"It makes me sad... to see a world driven by fear"
My Ugly Clementine is a post punk super-group of sorts from Vienna, Austria comprised of Sophie Lindinger (Leyya), Mira Lu Kovacs (5K HD), Kathrin Kolleritsch (Kerosin95) and Natasja Ronck and their track WHO is a perfectly poised punk pop song with hooky guitar lines, a casual chill dynamic drum beat and inviting cool vox and vocal harmonies. It is a catchy swaying breezy song by an all girl indie band but even more importantly it says something but then a lot of My Ugly Clementine songs say something important (about self acceptance, empowerment, feminism). That might be what sets them apart from similar bands.
Whether WHO is a "relationship song" or not, the lyrical content is striking in it's seemingly unabashed novel concept of, well, just loving your fellow man or woman. Of extending a hand, a smile to a stranger. In a divisive world becoming increasingly afraid of "the other" it is refreshing.
"I'll help you out... I don't care who you are... I'll be your guide, I don't need to know... who you are (x3)"
Their Debut Album "Vitamin C" will be out on March 20th - preorder here: https://inkmusic.at/release/vitamin-c/

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:
My Ugly Clementine, a post-punk supergroup from Vienna, Austria made of Sophie Lindinger (Leyya), Mira Lu Kovacs (5K HD), Kathrin Kolleritsch (Kerosin95) and Natasja Ronck. Together, their mischievous guitar interplays and cheerful hooks create a remarkably fresh and elegant strain of indie rock similar to Camp Cope, The Beths, WAAX and other artists of the like. The band made waves as must-see acts at MENT Festival by Under The Radar and Clash Magazine and now they’re ready to take on the US with an incredibly refreshing debut album, out everywhere on March 20.
Vitamin C has a strong and serious message about one of the most prevalent topics of our time: empowerment. Songs like lead single “Who” go deep down the road of complicated relationships and self-confidence.
