Published on June 4, 2021

After their amazing performance of “Racist, Sexist Boy” at the LA Public Library we couldn’t wait to meet this tween & teen punk band. Jimmy checks in with them backstage during the monologue and they talk about going viral and the meaning behind their now famous song, and later in the show they make their national television debut performing live in our studio!

    am I the only one who thinks this is terrible? I mean, I guess if you judge them on a steep patronizing curve you can redeem the song… but that’s contrary to the point, I think.

    They are awesome! I heard they got a record contract. Well deserved. As soon as their album comes out I’m going to buy it to support them!

    Confirmation that punk in 2021 is no better than it was back in the 70’s and 80’s. But an A for effort!

    HELL YEAH!!! I wonder if real music (rock/punk/metal) will ever be popular in America again? Nah, who am I kidding? America has no taste these days.

    In the tradition of punk these girls are doing the music proud. Girl power. They would so make it at CBGB.

    Not my thing. Too dissonant, and I’m just not into the grunge. For those who like it, go ahead. One thing I will say though, they remind me a little of the 5,6,7,8s and that’s a group I do like, sometimes.
