A Mess

Danish Rock n’ Riot Grrrl A Mess confronts gender perceptions, and sex with a head-on approach, channeling the rebellious spirit of #metoo modern society and early '90s indie punk. Described by Visions Magazine (GER) as “feministic power pop driven by raw guitar riffs”. Imagine if The Breeders bred Avril Lavigne and left the upbringing to Pussy Riot.
A Mess’ sophomore EP NO MAN’ (Jan. 2024) stirs substantial attention with her mix of political activism fighting for female rights and upbeat and pop-punk indie sound. 'Happy' and 'Gender Traitor' and ‘We Gonna Fight’ are already gaining traction with steady rotation on German and Danish Radio.

The debut EP 'WOMAN' (Oct. 21) earned rave 5-star reviews from notable platforms like Pretty in Noise (DE), GAFFA (DK), and Good Because Danish (INT) discussing sexual consent, slut shaming and smashing female stereotypes.
In 2024, A Mess embarks on European tours after a series of critically acclaimed live performances, at the SPOT Festival (DK), Smukfest (DK), and headlining the Swiss Nordklang Festival and tours playing live all over DE, AT, CH and CZ.
Dorte Hartmann, the visionary behind A Mess, leads this dynamic two-piece with vocals/guitar, accompanied by drummer by Per Gerhard Jørgensen.
