Cheap Perfume

Cheap Perfume prove that you can simultaneously smash the patriarchy and have a good time. They’re fun. They’re angry. They’re dirty, foul-mouthed and unapologetic.

Through lyrics written by frontwomen Stephanie Byrne and Willow “Jane No,” Cheap Perfume explore topics of intersectional feminism, equity, sex, relationships, partying, violence and politics. The band released a music video for their latest single, “No Men,” in 2023, four years after dropping their second full-length album, “Burn It Down,” the highly anticipated follow-up to 2016’s “Nailed It.” The album includes a new recording of Cheap Perfume’s anti-fascist anthem, “It’s Okay (to Punch Nazis),” which was released as a single in 2017 and has gone viral on TikTok.

Stephanie’s shout-singing and playful/aggressive stage presence excite and empower crowds who come to see Cheap Perfume perform live. Jane plays guitar and sings the melodies that balance Stephanie’s sass-talk. David “Hott Dave” Grimm’s heavy drumming and Geoff Brent’s powerful bass lines deliver straight-up punk rock that’s influenced by riot grrrl, hardcore and surf punk.

Through their live shows and albums, Cheap Perfume are creating space for womxn to boldly take up.
