“I wrote this ages ago when listening to 'Just A Girl' by No Doubt. Pussy Power actually starts with the line 'Just a girl / Just
a slut..' The idea of being 'just' something that no one takes seriously is very much how I feel as a female.” Filled with the duo’s trademark high octane power, riotous riffs and the impassioned ferocity of front woman Dolly’s vocals, Pussy Power is just what we need right now. Voicing the fist-clenching rage so many of us currently feel, it’s more than just a fantastic tune, it’s an essential, motivating call to arms.
The politically charged Pussy Power explodes with a raucous aggression and racing ferocity, blasting out its message with impassioned aggression. Voicing Dolly’s frustration about the fact that women are often seen as less important than men, the track races with a spectacular tenacious urgency and fist-clenching power.
The duo comprise of singer Dolly Daggerz and guitarist Mike, who are joined by a band for their live shows. Dolly takes inspiration from iconic performers from Heart to David Bowie and Karen O and Mike simply loves a good riff. Tokyo Taboo is a perfect amalgamation of Dolly and Mike’s influences; inspired by Manga, Japanese culture, drag and 80s fashion, they are true performers, with an image that equals the intense vibrancy of their sound.
Pussy Power is taken from Tokyo Taboo's forthcoming album 6th Street Psychosis, out on 24th March 2017 via TT Records, and is available to buy from
iTunes now.
