Gender Studies is the debut EP from Irish feminist post-punk band M(h)aol, for release on 29th October digitally, and then a 12" vinyl on 14th January via indie label TULLE which champions underrepresented voices in music. Gender Studies was recorded in just 3 days, and covers topics such as violence against women, the misogynistic music scene in Ireland and the UK, and trying to navigate life when you're not a cis straight white man. On the EP, lead vocalist RóisÃn says, 'Gender studies weaves past & present in an exploration of how the construct of gender shapes our lives. From feeling like you're not performing your gender right to the way it shapes how we move through the physical, sexual & romantic sphere it marries urgent lyrics with a threatening yet (blank) sound.
