Ever found yourself stuck in a party where everyone seems to be a carbon copy? That's exactly the vibe Lady Vengeance are targeting with their debut single, 'Clone Wars'. Imagine the sticky floors, the identical outfits, the endless sea of beer bottles – it’s a scene ripe for a punk rock takedown. And that’s precisely what this Los Angeles five-piece delivers.

A track that dripped on February 14th, 2025 via Cherry Pop Records, 'Clone Wars' isn't just a song, it's a sonic explosion aimed squarely at the cookie-cutter world of university Greek Life. Forget polite indie-pop; this is raw, unadulterated punk, designed to ignite a revolution, or at least a really good mosh pit.

From the moment the bassline hits, the track grabs you. It's a relentless assault, with drums driving the chaos and vocals that are less sung, more screamed defiance. It’s the kind of track that demands to be played loud, shared with mates, and used as a soundtrack to any act of rebellion, even if it’s just kicking over a plastic cup pyramid.

The guitar work is a highlight, with a shredding solo cutting through the noise like a hot knife. Lead guitarist Kate explains her approach: “For the guitar part, I was just thinking of your straight forward, old fashion power chord riff. As for the guitar solo [...] I want[ed] a solo you can hum along to [...] I feel that’s so important to me—a guitar solo [...] [One] you can bounce your head along to.” This focus on catchy, singable riffs adds an extra layer to the track, making it both aggressive and memorable. A spoken-word bridge adds a further layer of bite, making the song feel like a true call to arms.

Lady Vengeance, formed by five UCLA students, are a breath of fresh air in the alternative punk scene. Drawing on influences from early 2000s icons like My Chemical Romance and Queens of the Stone Age, they blend a dark, gothic aesthetic with a high-energy live show. Their reputation in Westwood’s underground scene is growing fast, fuelled by their raw energy and refusal to conform.

With 'Clone Wars' setting the stage, anticipation is high for their debut EP, scheduled for release in early summer 2025. It promises more of the same: gritty, rebellious punk that speaks to anyone who’s ever felt trapped in a world of clones. Lady Vengeance aren't just a band; they're a statement.
