Lambrini Girls – The Basement & Spilt
After cementing a cross-generational riot grrrl celebration in Brooklyn with their billionaire-busting set alongside Bikini Kill a few weeks ago, Brighton’s own Lambrini Girls share two new singles today with “The Basement” and “Spilt.”
A tonally diverse set of new tracks from the explosive duo of Phoebe Lunny (vocals/guitar) and Selin Macieira (bass), both songs show the spectrum of the modern condition that Phoebe and Selin address on No Refunds, the band’s forthcoming sophomore album, out January 15th, 2027 via City Slang.
On “The Basement”, Phoebe (vocals/guitar) and Selin (bass) turn their attention to the online ecosystems that funnel disaffected men towards increasingly reactionary ideologies. Describing the track as the story of “a sad little man who gets radicalised by the manosphere”, the duo deliver another sharp, darkly comic dissection of modern political culture, channeling their trademark confrontational energy into a subject that feels increasingly difficult to ignore.
In stark contrast, “Spilt” sees Lambrini Girls venture into entirely new territory with a fully acoustic track that confronts alcohol dependency with unflinching honesty. Stripped of the distortion and sonic ferocity that have become synonymous with the band, the track leaves little room to hide, revealing a more exposed and introspective side to their songwriting. “It was exciting and challenging to do something that’s so different to the rest of the album and what we do in general, but to make it as powerful in its own way,” says Selin. No Refunds will also include the previously shared singles “Bang Bang Bang” and “Cult of Celebrity”.
No Refunds is the incendiary, sonically-adventurous follow up to their 2025 debut album Who Let The Dogs Out and is a darker, even more direct and radical record for a moment in history where little else would make sense. Its contents reads like a litany of modern horrors: genocide, fascism, the rise of AI and the descent into the grubby basement of the ‘manosphere’. That all of these separately terrifying ideas are happening concurrently, in the small window of time since Lambrini Girls’ debut not-two years ago, speaks to how necessary its writing became for the pair. Industrial punk sits alongside moments of pop-minded immediacy, angular basslines and unexpected vulnerability, with the duo pairing their most confrontational material with the dark humor and wit that has become synonymous with the duo.
The album’s evolution comes after an intensely difficult period for both members. Selin stepped back from touring in late 2025 after being burned out and subsequently triggering a manic episode as a symptom of her bipolar disorder, while Phoebe suffered a brain injury during the band’s first Australian tour. Both experiences forced the pair to confront the physical and emotional cost of a trajectory that had accelerated rapidly since their emergence, ultimately deepening their connection to the band and to the music they were making.
Lambrini Girls rapid ascent has continued throughout 2026, with the band appearing at some of the world’s biggest and most influential festivals, including Bonnaroo, Pukkelpop, Lowlands, Rock En Seine, Oya, Way Out West, Flow and Primavera Sound. The duo will be taking the new album on the road in 2027, with an extensive run of UK and European headline dates, find a full list of live moments below.
Lambrini Girls breached the door to global rock consciousness with the raw charisma, barbed humor and combustible shredding of their debut album Who Let The Dogs Out in 2025. Released as an opening musical statement for the year in January last year, the album permeated throughout the rock world, with the band gracing the covers of NOTION, Kerrang!, Paste, and New Noise, with support from the likes of Variety and Pitchfork, who noted the album “rails against misogyny, homophobia… with righteous fury.” They’ve heaped praise and admiration from the likes of Bikini Kill’s Kathleen Hanna, Iggy Pop and Sleater Kinney, and shared stages with IDLES, Amyl & The Sniffers & more.
Additionally, Lambrini Girls announce their North American headline tour taking place next spring. The 13-date run sees the band performing in New York City, Boston, Toronto, Chicago, San Francisco, Vancouver, Portland and more. Tickets go on sale this Friday, October 23rd at 10am local time. Lambrini Girls will also bring the explosive live show to Europe and the United Kingdom next year.
