LA-Based punk band, The Regrettes, have released new track “Poor Boy”. The politically-charged song was created after the Ford-Kavanaugh hearings, where Dr. Christine Blasey Ford testified that she was sexually assaulted by Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Discussing the track, frontwoman Lydia Night explains that “‘Poor Boy’ was written at a time of being completely fed up and disgusted by all of the awful humans who think it’s okay to assault and rape others. This one is for Kavanaugh and all the other nasty men who think that this behavior is okay in any capacity. We won’t accept it and we will continue to fight against it.”
“Poor Boy” was a surprise release with the band announcing it on Twitter and stating “heyyyy SURPRISE! we have a new song out called poor boy!!!! we’re releasing this song because we are done with letting abusers walk free. please donate to RAINN which is a foundation supporting sexual assault and rape victims”
